Unexpected fines in the Czech Republic: what Ukrainians can be fined for

A Ukrainian woman living in the Czech Republic shared interesting and useful information about fines that are worth knowing. Her posts were published on the 'Glavkom' portal along with a TikTok video.

Food on public transport

The ban on eating on buses is one of the unusual fines in the Czech Republic. If you are caught violating this rule, you will definitely receive a fine of up to 1000 crowns, which is about 2019 hryvnias. It is also better not to leave trash behind.

Reflective elements

If you are traveling in the Czech Republic by car at night without reflective elements, prepare for a fine. For the absence of such elements, you will be fined 2000 crowns.

Walking pets

Pet owners should remember that they must walk their pets only on a leash. Letting a dog off the leash will cost you almost 10 thousand crowns.

Snow on sidewalks

The most important thing during winter is to clear snow from the sidewalks on time. If this is not done, you can receive a fine of up to 10 thousand crowns.

Feeding birds

In the Czech Republic, some places prohibit feeding birds. To avoid a fine, one should carefully adhere to this rule and follow the signage near water bodies and parks. The fine for violation is 5 thousand crowns.

During the summer, the European External Action Service indicated that more than 4.37 million Ukrainians who left their homes due to the conflict received temporary protection in EU countries. Furthermore, the Czech Republic made a significant contribution to enhancing Ukraine's defense capability by providing its own satellite for independent monitoring of the territory and tracking of radio frequency spectrum.
