Czechia in the Eurovision Song Contest

Czechia 2023: Vesna - "My Sister's Crown"

Czechia has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 13 times. After three years of very poor results (2007, 2008, 2009), they decided to withdraw from the competition for five years, with only 10 points in their Eurovision account. But their hope for Eurovision never died, so they returned to the contest again in 2015, as well as the following years.
