The Prague councilors agreed on the management of the Vltava riverbanks

Prague - The management of the popular Vltava waterfronts in Prague will continue to be ensured by the municipal company Trade Centre Prague. This was agreed upon by the councilors. The company will take care of coordinating events held on the embankments, managing rental contracts, and also cleaning the banks. In recent months, the waterfronts have become a topic of dispute among Prague councilors. They could not agree on who and how should take care of the attractive areas by the Vltava River.
    The latest dispute emerged during the spring event Boats on the Water, when the waterfront was completely closed to the public for several days due to preparations for an exhibition. Deputy Mayor Matěj Stropnický (Troika Coalition/Green Party) claimed at that time that this was done without permission. However, the organizers denied this. Furthermore, Stropnický recently stated that the strongest business players dominate the waterfronts. He repeatedly pointed out the lack of a manager to coordinate activities on the embankments. According to him, the coalition partner ANO "vehemently refuses" to establish a commission that could address the situation.
    The Prague waterfronts are particularly popular among Prague residents during the summer season. Additionally, a main cycle path runs along the right bank, which thousands of people use daily.
