Central Bohemia - the eagle symbolizes the medieval Premyslid ruling
dynasty and, consequently, the fact that the original Bohemian state was
founded in central Bohemia (in or near to what is now Prague). The two
wavy stripes represent the major rivers of the region, the Vltava ('Moldau')
and the Labe ('Elbe').

Two more proposals were approved by the parliamentary subcommittee and
now they are only waiting for inclusion into a new decree. They are flags
of South Bohemian and Central Bohemian Regions (both BOAs, see CVP
for the designs).
