Owners often don't clean up after their dogs, even though it's their duty. There's a cleanliness ordinance (No. 8/2008 Coll. HMP). ...
Cigarette butts and what to do with them They're a problem! Not just here in the park, but globally. Eggs make up roughly 40% percent of the waste from public spaces.

Every year around 21 June it commemorates two stories of the struggle against totalitarianism, first the Nazi and later the communist one.
