New System (2001)
The new Czech vehicle registration plate system was introduced between 29 June 2001 and 17 July 2001. The first letter from the left represents the region - (Kraj) and then follows a combination of letters or numbers numbered upward from 1X0 0001 - where X is the letter of region. In 2009, both Prague (A) and Středočeský kraj/Central Bohemia (S) reached the combination of six 9s in their license plates and started issuing a two letter format numbered 1XA 0000, where X is the letter of region and A is a letter in alphabetical order (after 1AA 9999, 1AB 0000 follows).
Since 2004 with the accession of the Czech Republic to the European Union, a blue European strip with the letters CZ and European stars were added.

Famous quotes containing the word system:
“I am fearful that the paper system ... will ruin the state. Its demoralizing effects are already seen and spoken of everywhere ... I therefore protest against receiving any of that trash.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
