Summary/Abstract: The Czech Republic was part of the so called Eastern Blocuntil 1989 when the whole Soviet sphere of power crumbled. It is thus understandable that the nature of the whole industry and energy sector was oriented eastwards with the former Soviet Union as the main partner and supplier. The Czech Republic was thus supplied by the same pipelines that supplied the whole region with Russian energy sources.
