Česká pošta was established on 1 January 1993, on the Dissolution of Czechoslovakia, separated from the Slovak postal service, as well as from Cesky Telecom.

All these organisations had previously been united under the Administration of Posts and Telecommunications, but were split following a decision from the Minister of Economy on 16 December.

[clarification needed][4][5] On 1 October 2006, a decision of the Director General of Česká pošta canceled the operation of the branch plant, OZ shipping and commercial services and OZ VAKUS (acronym from the original name of Computer and control switchboard connections).

[12] As of 1 March 2023, Miroslav Štěpán has been entrusted with the management of Česká pošta, replacing the dismissed CEO Roman Knap[citation needed].

Under the scope of the Directorate-General there are currently seven branches and 9 SPUs: In addition to receiving, transporting and delivering mail and unaddressed items, the Czech Post provides contractual services for other business entities or authorities such as ČSSZ (payment of old-age pensions), ČSOB (renting space for banking services), Sazka (receiving tickets, paying out winnings, selling lottery tickets) and Generali Česká pojišťovna [cs].

Sorting means that the most suitable direction (according to the address) and the optimum mode of transport (according to the type of shipment and the service chosen by the sender) are determined for them.

At present, the Czech Post uses practically all types of road vehicles, from passenger cars to semi-trailer trucks.

The shipments are transported in closed mail wagons marked with the Czech Post logo and the code VKM POSTA.59 The unloading and loading is carried out by the employees of the individual collection hubs.
