An annual survey carried out by the country's Public Opinion Research Centre (CVVM) found the vast majority of those questioned remain unconvinced replacing the koruna with the euro would be beneficial.

A paltry 21 per cent of people questioned were in favour of joining the single currency – a slight improvement on last year, when just 17 per cent said they supported adopting the euro.

Scepticism towards the EU itself remains high, in a country heavily opposed to refugees from war-torn countries migrating to Europe.

Only 36 per cent of those polled believe there is a future for the EU, down from 39 per cent last year, while only 35 per cent were in favour of greater integration into the bloc.
