The answer of MLM is quite correct but the question is strange.
The Czechs are "Eastern Europe"? I have never seen this definition before. That would move the definition so that Germans and Poles, Italians and Austrians, Swedes and Croats would all end up in Eastern Europe.
In classic European history, Europe is normally divided roughly along religious lines. "Eastern Europe" is since the Middle Ages defined as the area of influence of the Byzantines (i.e. the orthodox region of Europe). We are speaking Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, Belorus, Ukraine, Russia etc.
The Czechs have never belonged to this area. They are placed in "Central Europe" - along with e.g. the Germans, Poles, Austrians, Croats, Slovenians etc - in historical science.
Geographically, Prague lies on 14,5 degrees, thus she lies to the West of places like Stockholm, Vienna, Naples and Messina. Quite a way away from the Westernmost Eastern Europe capital by classical definition, which would be Belgrade at 20,5 degrees.
I'm not protesting, simply being curious. In what aspect do or did the Czechs belong to Eastern Europe?

How do local elections work in UK?
Electoral statistics refer to the number of people who were registered to vote if an election had been held on 1 December of the reference year. There are two main classifications of voters; the Parliamentary Electorate' and 'European and Local Government Electorate'.Commonwealth citizens, British citizens and citizens of the Republic of Ireland who are normally resident in the area on the qualifying date and who will be aged 18 or over during the electoral register's currency are eligible to vote in any election. However, further eligibility criteria for the two classifications are different.The Parliamentary Electorate includes overseas electors but excludes Peers and EU citizens.
