Czech term or phrase: není bez zajímavosti
I have found the phrase "není bez zajímavosti" in today's news and I'm wondering what would be the best way to convey its meaning in English. I hope that somemone who knows the arcana of Czech-English translation is going to provide me with some kind of hint.

1. "Není bez zajímavosti, že jistý pokles důvěry byl zaznamenán téměř u všech členů kabinetu".

2. "Bez zajímavosti není ani renesanční zvonice či barokní sloup".

worth noting


Explanation:
Ackoli nemam zadne namitky proti "not without interest", sam bych mel tendenci vyse uvedene priklady prekladat pomoci "worth noting", napriklad "The Renaissance bell tower or the Baroque column are also worth noting." Ja vim, ze tyto preklady jsou spise obdobou ceskeho "stoji za povsimnuti", ale rozdil mezi "stoji za povsimnuti" a "neni bez zajimavosti" je podle mne minimalni.
