A recent survey by the CVVM polling institute shows that most Czechs support the European Union, yet scepticism about the euro remains strong. Two thirds of the population view EU membership positively – but a similar proportion reject the introduction of the single currency.
According to the latest CVVM survey from August 2025, a clear majority of the Czech population supports their country’s membership in the European Union.
Around 66 per cent of Czechs say they are satisfied with EU membership, while just under a third (31 per cent) are dissatisfied. An even larger majority – 74 per cent – believe that the Czech Republic should remain a member of the European Union; only about a quarter (23 per cent) would prefer to leave.
Czechs view European cooperation particularly positively in the areas of defence (78%) and culture (76%). Economic integration is also regarded as beneficial by a majority (62%), while 57 per cent appreciate cooperation on environmental protection. Respondents are most critical of the EU’s political influence – here, 47 per cent consider integration useful, whereas 44 per cent view it as harmful.
Majority in favour of maintaining the status quo
When it comes to the future of EU integration, the largest group (38%) believes the current level should be maintained. Twenty-seven per cent would like to see deeper integration, while 24 per cent would prefer a loosening of European cooperation.
As for the Czech Republic’s engagement within the EU, support slightly leans towards stronger involvement (39%). One third (32%) wish to maintain the current level, while around 21 per cent favour less participation.
Euro still unpopular
The population sends a clear signal when it comes to adopting the euro: two thirds (66%) oppose joining the euro area. Only three in ten respondents (30%) would support introducing the euro as the national currency.
