Summary/Abstract: The europeanization of political parties has become an important part of recent debates in political science. The text analyzes the europeanization of election manifestos of Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia (KSČM) using the two-dimensional europeanization concept in political parties’ manifestos. The results of the analysis which emphasizes the special features of communist election programmes are interpreted by using the salience theory – useful explanatory tool in the research of europeanization of political parties.
