Summary/Abstract: Publishing an analysis of the new government's foreign policy at a time when the political parties are still discussing its program may seem very premature, even presumptuous. The Association for International Affairs and the Institute for European Policy Europeum, the leading Czech foreign policy think-tanks that dared to take this step, nevertheless do so with faith in a certain predictability of public policy with regard to the programs and long-term positions of political parties that now sitting behind the negotiating table. Both institutions have been analyzing Czech foreign policy for more than ten years and are recognized co-creators of the Czech discourse on international relations. We believe that this analysis will encourage public discussion on a topic that fundamentally affects the future of the Czech Republic, although it is not at the center of attention of voters or most politicians. // The analysis is intended for all those who are thinking today about what to expect from the new government. You can compare our conclusions with the future coalition agreement, the government statement and, above all, with the real results of the new government during the next election period. // We are, of course, aware of the risk that the parties will not reach an agreement and the intended coalition will not be formed - but this will certainly not be the fault of contradictions in the field of foreign policy.
