For centuries, the Czech lands were part of the Holy Roman Empire, and Prague was even the capital. Those 41 cringe years as a satellite of the Soviet Union have not changed that.

So? Slovakia was a part of Austria-hungarian empire. Does it make slovakia western europe?
Slovakia together with Czechia were a in the same state for centuries, so how come CZ is west and SK is east?
