Poles, Too Distant Neighbours for Czechs
C zechia has the second-longest border with Poland after Germany but the Czechs know Poles the least of their neighbours. They don’t share the same recent history as with the Slovaks, they don’t go on holiday to Poland as they do to Austria, and they don’t have that many joint ventures or a shared tradition of shopping trips and Christmas jaunts as with Germany.
Older Czechs tend to stereotype Poles as salespeople of the 1980s, who don’t keep their word and try to make a profit on everything and in all circumstances. Younger Czechs mostly ignore Poles, but only until they find out that the Witcher is a character that was created in Poland.
Nevertheless, Poland is an important political and economic partner of Czechia, which has become even more apparent in recent months as Warsaw and Prague are among the biggest suppliers and supporters of fighting Ukraine.
