Czech Republic Pavilion

Czechia confirmed its participation in Expo 2027 Belgrade in the second week of June 2026, when the newly appointed Czech commissioner, Kryštof Šafer, toured the Expo site, met the organiser's construction, design and programme teams, and signed the participation contract with Serbia's Expo commissioner Jagoda Lazarević and Expo 2027 director Danilo Jerinić. Šafer, a former film producer and marketer, is the Commissioner General; Hospodářské noviny reported the Czech budget for Belgrade at CZK 120 million.

The main theme of the Czech participation is space. The Czech embassy in Belgrade names space as the core subject, and Industry and Trade Minister Karel Havlíček said cosmonautics linked to new technologies should be one of the key topics. Šafer has said he wants to design the Czech stand so that visitors who work hard, like Czech astronaut Aleš Svoboda, can get very close to the stars. Pavilion size, designer and builder have not been published.

“Chtěl bych koncipovat český stánek tak, že když se budete snažit a budete pilní jako Aleš Svoboda, tak se můžete dostat velmi blízko hvězdám.” — Kryštof Šafer, Czech Commissioner General (Hospodářské noviny, 25 June 2026): "I would like to design the Czech stand so that if you try hard and are diligent like Aleš Svoboda, you can get very close to the stars."
