The Jiří Theiner Award was awarded remotely to Elif Şhafak. Just like last year, young readers had a lot of fun at the section dedicated specifically to them. The topic of Literature as the Voice of Freedom resonated again with the current social and political situation in the world, as did the programme of Ukrainian literature, which continues to help Ukrainian refugees maintain contact with their language and literature.

This was the second time the International Book Fair and Literary Festival Book World Prague featured a programme section entitled the Central and East European Book Market.
CEEBM serves as a platform enabling book industry professionals from Central and Eastern Europe to meet and exchange experience. This edition is characterized by a marked increase in interest in one-to-one business meetings and panel discussions on topics such as bibliodiversity and the search for opportunities for international communication through literature and film.
