Based on the culture, language, history, customs, live style etc. Do you see Czech Republic as an Eastern European country or rather Western European country?
Please vote, thanks.

The Czech are Eastern-Europeans. Their names are Slavic, they look Slavic and their language is Slavic.
I work in a hotel and one of my Russian coworkers was speaking to some Czech people in English, after hearing their accent, he automatically switched to Russian. As the Czech accent is typically Eastern-European/Russian/Slavic. But the Czech didn't speak Russian, lol.
Anyway, even a Russian thought that those Czech people were Russian.

Karl, stop trolling this thread for fuck sake. Czechs are Central European, not Eastern nor Western. End of.

Definitely Western Europe (technically it's Central Europe, but that option somehow got lost along the way).
Anyway!!!
Culture and life style: Traditionally Roman catholic/protestant (today largely atheist/non-religious) of Austro-German character. We are reserved, beer drinking, hard working people ... and damn punctual!
Language: West Slavic, so we are Western even in this point, unless you consider language to be the chief criterium and Slavic languages Eastern by default, but in that case Romanians would be Western Europeans/Latinos.
Customs: like what exactly?
History: part of German area of influence since the 9th century AD at least. But ok, we were 40 years under the big eastern brother's yoke.![]()

The Czech Republic has been traditionally thought of as an 'Eastern' European country, due to its communist rule. It is mainly Slavic but has a strong Germanic influence aswell. I suppose you could say, its the transition of both eastern and western Europe.
