Periods through history
Arrival of the Slavs
The Slavs (Czech tribes in Bohemia and Moravians in Moravia) arrived in the sixth century. According to historian Dušan Třeštík, the first Slavs came through Moravian Gate (Moravská brána) valley and in 530 moved into the eastern Bohemia and along rivers Labe and Vltava further into central Bohemia. Many historians support theory of further wave of Slavs coming from the south during the first half of the seventh century.

the Czech Republic
1 January 1993 meant "velvet divorce" of the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Now a member of NATO (since 1999) and of the European Union (since 2004), the Czech Republic has moved toward integration in world markets, a development that poses both opportunities and risks.
