It was noted that blue-and-yellow flags were also drawn with chalk and paint on sidewalks, stairs, columns, and trash bins. Law enforcement authorities are investigating the incident.

Meanwhile, a group called Sametovi pametnici (Velvet Witnesses) sent an email to the Czech national news agency CTK, in which the activists claimed responsibility for what happened near Okamura's house. They explained that their actions were motivated by a desire to express dissatisfaction with the behavior of state representatives. Okamura himself criticized the activists' actions.
