Despite many rumors and incorrect information published in several international newspapers, the full country name "Czech Republic" ("Česká republika") will remain the country's official political name. "Czechia" will be used only as the English version of the short country name "Česko". It is up to each entity to decide whether to use the short version ("Česko/Czechia") or long version (Česká republika/Czech Republic").
