Slovaks are the second-largest ethnic minority in the Czech Republic, after the Moravians, who are native to the country. The American CIA puts them at 1.9% of the country's total population.{{cite web|url=https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/czechia/|title=The World Factbook — Central Intelligence Agency|website=www.cia.gov}} Larger numbers of them can be found in the country's east, especially Ostrava and Brno, as the Czech Republic shares a border in the east with Slovakia. Brno especially is popular among Slovak university students.
