The first prime minister of the Czech Republic was Václav Klaus, who is currently serving as President. The current prime minister is Petr Nečas, in office since 28 June 2010.

This period can be as short as one day (as with Gross and Paroubek) but often it is longer and the longest period yet recorded is of 31 days (Topolánek and Fisher).
