## About this plate

Secondary sources date the Czech diplomatic plate's switch from blue-on-yellow to blue-on-white to 2001. THE INSTRUMENT DATES IT TO 1 JUNE 2004: vyhláška 243/2001 Sb. § 24 odst. 2 písm. c) and d) both read "modrý podklad a žluté znaky" for diplomatic and cizinecká vehicles, and it was vyhláška 291/2004 Sb. Čl. I bod 3 that replaced the whole of § 24 with a version reading "bílý podklad a modré znaky". The prefix set changed at the same reform: 2001 knew only "DD" and "XX" (§ 16 odst. 3), the current regulation knows CD, XX, XS and HC. II odst.

## Region code notes
