  Czech people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Czechs (Czech: Češi) are a western Slavic people of Central Europe, living predominantly in the Czech Republic.
They speak the Czech language, which is closely related to the Slovak language.
Among the ancestors of the Czechs are ancient Slavic tribes who inhabited the regions of Bohemia, Moravia, and Silesia from the 6th century onwards.

 Czech Republic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In an equally significant migration, Slavic people from the Black Sea and Carpathian regions settled in the area (a movement that was also stimulated by the onslaught of peoples from Siberia and Eastern Europe: Huns, Avars, Bulgars and Magyars).
The Czech landscape is quite varied; Bohemia to the west consists of a basin, drained by the Elbe (Czech: Labe) and Vltava rivers, surrounded by mostly low mountains such as the Sudeten with its part Krkonoše, where one also finds the highest point in the country, the Sněžka at 1,602 metres (5,256 ft).
The Czech government has expressed a desire to adopt the euro currency in 2010, but its introduction is only in the early planning stages and there are growing doubts whether budget deficit will not force postponement.

 Czech Republic
Throughout this period, the Czech people were pressured into joining the communist party and taking part in activities showing their “loyalty” for the communist society, including taking part in civic organizations and celebrations.
After Czech educators met with American counterparts for three months, a teacher’s manual and a number of lesson plans and activities were produced to provide a systematic civic education for Czech students in the third form of secondary schools (ages seventeen and eighteen).
Some Czech educators are already aware of this for they believe that the best way for students to accept and understand democratic principles is for schools to have a climate favoring the active participation of the student body and their parents.

Czech people are very proud of their language, and thus, even in Prague you will not find many signs written in English (outside of the main tourist areas).
Czechs say that it should only be drunk fresh from the vineyard, and many small private wine makers are passionate about it, waiting up into the night for the moment when the wine reaches the 'burčák' stage.

 Czech Republic and the Origin of Slavs - Little of Slavic History
The earliest records of Slavic inhabitants in present-day Czechoslovakia date from the fifth century A.D. The ancestors of the Czechs settled in present-day Bohemia and Moravia, and those of the Slovaks settled in present-day Slovakia.
The peaceful life of the Slavic tribes was shattered in the sixth century by the invasion of the Avars, a people of undetermined origin and language who established a loosely connected empire between the Labe (Elbe) and Dnieper rivers.
Its importance to Czechoslovak history is that it united in a single state the ancestors of the Czechs and Slovaks.

 Czech Republic — a brief description
The Czechs have a very proud and interesting history, tied up with Austro-Hungarian empires and the like, and to find out more we suggest you look up here and here (since we’re not ancient historians, these guys will do a better job than we will!).
The Czech side had always been a bit better off, and government for the whole of Czechoslovakia had been in Prague on the Czech side, so the Slovakians hadn’t been all that happy with the situation anyway.
For example, recent surveys in South Bohemia (in the south west of the country, regional capital Ceske Budejovice, where OM Czech is based) show an evangelical Christian population of a mere 0.20%, one fifth of one percent of the population.

This is also a tactic by the police because the international activists sooner or later leave the Czech Republic and it's more complicated for them to act against the Czech police than for Czech people.
But I think the Czech police would be stupid if they would pursue repressions against organizers at this moment because everybody is interested in the issue unlike half a year ago.
But when you are planning actions, which are reported in the media or organize meetings with 50 people or international ones with 150 and more participants and not everybody knows each other personally it is not possible to know if it is not infiltrated.
