*In the 2001 census, 39,106 Czech citizens, or around 0.4% of the Czech Republic's total population, declared '''German ethnicity.''' | |||
*There is a small community of '''Greeks''' in the Czech Republic. The Greek presence in Czech Republic is dated to the 20th century. Roughly 12,000 Greek citizens, mainly from '''Greek Macedonia in Northern Greece''', who fled from the 1946-1949 Greek Civil War were settled in several formerly German inhabited areas in Czechoslovakia. | |||
*There is a small community of '''ethnic Macedonians''' in the Czech Republic. Among the refugees of the Greek Civil War who were admitted to Czechoslovakia in the late 1940s, roughly 4,000 were of Macedonian ethnicity; they resettled primarily in the Czech portion of the country. | |||
*The '''Ukrainian''' national minority in the Czech Republic together with the citizens of Ukraine make up the largest membership base with more than 203,198 members. Labour migration from '''Ukraine or southeast Slovakia''' to what is now the Czech Republic began to grow to a large scale in the early 1990s. In 1991, there were just 8,500 Ukrainian citizens on Czech territory. However, as of October 2018, figures of the Czech Statistical Office showed that number had grown to 132,481, making Ukrainians the largest group of foreigners in the Czech Republic, with a 30% share of the foreign population. | |||
*'''Vietnamese''' people in the Czech Republic, including residents and citizens, are the third-largest ethnic minority overall (after the Slovaks and Ukrainians), numbering more than 83,000 people according to the 2011 census. It is the third-largest Vietnamese diaspora in Europe, and one of the most populous Vietnamese diasporas of the world. Vietnamese immigrants began settling in Czechoslovakia during the Communist period, when they were invited as guest workers by the Czechoslovak government. Migration was encouraged by Vietnamese authorities, in the hope that the migrants would return with skills and training.<ref>"Demographics of the Czech Republic", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_Czech_Republic#Ethnic_groupsm accessed 13 July 2021.</ref> | |||
