IDNES reported the information.Polling stations in the Czech Republic will open on October 3 at 2 p.m. and operate until 10 p.m. on Friday, and from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday.These are also the first elections in which Czechs abroad can vote by mail, without having to travel to an embassy polling station.The results will be announced on the evening of October 4, with the first post-election negotiations scheduled for Sunday, October 5.For many months, polls have been led by the populist ANO party of Andrej Babiš, who has a real chance to return to the prime minister’s post.Many in the Czech Republic predict that Babiš’s victory would bring changes in foreign policy, including towards Ukraine. In particular, he has already threatened to abandon the Czech “ammunition initiative.”On September 4, the Czech government decided to allocate one billion Czech korunas (over €40 million) annually under Ukraine’s reconstruction program for 2026–2030.
