Unknown individuals hung Ukrainian flags near the home of Czech Chamber of Deputies Chairman Tomio Okamura, who made headlines by removing Ukraine's flag from the parliament building on his first day in office, reports Novinky.
Ukrainian flags appeared on the afternoon of 17 November on the fence near Okamura's house in Prague's Břevnov district. Someone also painted Ukrainian flags on the sidewalk and street lamps near the building, as well as on the stairs and a garbage bin.
Prague Police spokesman Jan Danek told Novinky that law enforcement is aware of the incident and investigating the situation.
"We will document the entire case and determine whether damage was caused, and if so, to what extent. Based on this, the legal qualification of the entire case will be determined," he said.
The leader of the right-wing populist SPD party ordered the removal of Ukraine's flag from the Czech parliament building on his first day as speaker of the lower chamber and personally held the ladder while the flag was being taken down.
Okamura has long criticized the display of Ukrainian flags on public buildings as symbols of solidarity with the country facing full-scale Russian invasion.
In response, three parliamentary factions in the Czech Parliament have hung Ukrainian flags themselves.
