The analysis of sections on the foreign policy of the official programme documents of the Czech parliamentary parties is given. A wide range of preferences has been revealed – from adherence to «a hard core» in the European Union, to calls for reforming the EU and for a referendum on the withdrawal from it. It is noted that the Czech voters are quite pragmatic about the foreign policy orientation of the Czech Republic. This was indicated, in particular, by the results of the presidential elections held in January 2018. The right to occupy the highest state post was granted to Miloš Zeman, who adheres to the concept of the multi-vector foreign policy of the Czech state.
