The Prague Daily Monitor makes a 'desperate-to-fill-space-on-the-page' connection between the increasing popularity of the previously unknown Valentines Day and the decreasing population of the Czech Republic but they do intersperse the article with useful information. 

Valentine's Day in Prague | Prague Daily Monitor Before 1989, Valentine's Day was practically unknown in the Czech Republic. The first of May was traditionally marked as the "day for lovers," with couples flocking to Petřín Hill to meet near Romantic poet Karel Hynek Mácha's statue or kiss underneath a cherry tree, ensuring good health and luck for the year. After the end of communism, global commercialism made its mark and brought with it Western traditions. Although Valentine's Day is not nearly as popular as in Western countries, its popularity is increasing, leaving a trail of rose petals in its wake. The Czech Republic has the third highest marriage rate in the world, falling behind Russia and the US with 8.4 marriages per 1,000 people according to nationmaster.com, but with a divorce rate of 67%, finding a long-lasting Valentine may be difficult. However, with Valentine's Day on a Saturday, the possibilities to woo your mate are seemingly endless, and restaurants and theaters around Prague are offering romantic and fun ideas to make even a forgotten holiday memorable.
