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 have no concern with any economic criticisms of the communist system; I cannot enquire into whether the abolition of private property is expedient or advantageous. But I am able to recognize that the psychological premises on which the system is based are an untenable illusion. In abolishing private property we deprive the human love of aggression of one of its instruments ... but we have in no way altered the differences in power and influence which are misused by aggressiveness.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
