STEM: Support for NATO membership consistently high among Czechs
Support for Czechia’s membership in NATO is consistently high among Czechs, according to the results of public opinion surveys. Twenty-five years after the Czech Republic joined the alliance 70 percent of Czechs welcome its membership in the organization, according to a January survey by the STEM institute. Majority support for NATO membership has been long-standing, never dropping below 50 percent since the country’s accession. Since 2001 it has remained above 70 percent. It was at its highest in March 2022, not long after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, when 78 percent of respondents expressed themselves in favour of Czech membership in NATO.
