“We are sure that
most Prague citizens are bothered by the all-day, amateur firing of
pyrotechnics, which is mostly uncontrolled and is thus a great
psychological burden for small children and animals. In this regard,
we consider a 15-minute organized presentation of professional
fireworks to celebrate the New Year to be dignified in what is
inherently one of the European and world capitals,” Prague 2 Deputy
Mayor Jan Korseska said, according to website Miliju Praha, which
first reported the news.
