The Ambassador of Sweden to the Czech Republic (known formally as the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden to the Czech Republic) is the official representative of the government of Sweden to the president of the Czech Republic and government of the Czech Republic.

History

On 1 January 1993, Sweden recognized the two new states of the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Diplomatic relations with the governments in Prague and Bratislava had now been established. The Swedish embassy in Prague in the former Czechoslovakia became an embassy in the newly created Czech Republic and the Swedish ambassador to Czechoslovakia became ambassador to the Czech Republic. Lennart Watz was appointed ambassador in Prague with a dual accreditation in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia.[1]
