Two techno parties underway in Czech Republic

Around two and a half thousand people are taking part in a techno-party near Vitkov in Moravia. The police are monitoring the event and there have been no disturbances or complaints from the villagers. Meanwhile, another techno party has got underway in the Karlovy Vary region in west Bohemia. In this case the police anticipate problems. The party was unannounced and although the organizers have approval from the owner of the premises they do not have permission to pass through neighboring fields and meadows to get there. Around 50 police officers are now on the party grounds and are trying to prevent it from spilling over onto private land. There have been no conflicts or disturbances for the time being.
