Summary/Abstract: This article offers a survey on how Baltic States studies are progressing in the Czech Republic. Reference is made to the influencing factors behind these developments in Czechoslovakia, and later in the Czech Republic, after the “Velvet Revolution”. The main subjects of this evolution in modern history are the societal groups, publications, fields of study at University level and lecturing related to Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in the Czech Universities. The scholarly publications featured in this survey may be seen as representing the core of what can be called “Baltic Studies” in the Czech Republic today. In particular, I will focus on book publications within history and political science. Their prime common denominator is that they are concerned with all three Baltic States, rather than with just one or two of them.
