Life / Polish and Czechs [191]
From my conversations with Czechs they like Slovaks while Slovaks dislike Czechs.It is a strange relationship.Basically Czechs are viewed as cold,cunning and lacking morals while Czechs view Slovaks as their little brothers in a picturesque,agricultural country.Many Slovaks like Hungarians though.
The Slovaks have neutral opinion about Poland or positive.The Czechs think of Poles as economically undeveloped and reminding of their own flaws.They cause a confusion in the identity they want to have.Czechs are heavily anti-German,very deep rooted feelings here and do not bother to show their attitude.
It is to notice that 90% of Czechs are atheists while 90% of Poles are catholics.This causes a kind of mutual dislike as Czechs view Poles as strict,not liberals,inflexible while Poles may view Czechs as funny,unreliable etc.
