Summary/Abstract: Any pursuit of ethnic integration can be successful provided that it is realized not only on political and legal levels but also on the level of everyday social interactions. In the article, the author derives an „everyday openness“ towards inclusion of social minorities from theoretically grounded empirical measuring of attitudes towards enhancing their rights and of subjectively acclaimed similarity of attitudes and lifestyle. Author concludes that Czechs understand themselves as an exclusive ethnic group with no greater will to enhance rights for ethnic minorities. These extreme attitudes were found in the case of Romas who are generally understood as perfect strangers within Czech culture. The author also did not find significant sociodemographic differentiation considering these attitudes.
