The prime minister of the Czech Republic (Czech: Předseda vlády České republiky[note 1]) is the head of the government of the Czech Republic and the de facto leader and most powerful member of the executive branch.[2]
The Constitution provides that certain presidential actions require the prime minister's countersignature, including in appointing judges and ambassadors, commanding the military, ratifying treaties and issuing amnesties.[3]
The current prime minister, Petr Fiala, leader of the ODS, was appointed by President Miloš Zeman on 28 November 2021, following the 2021 election and serves as 13th person in the office.
