Diplomatic relations were established on 1 January 1993. Both countries are members of the European Union and NATO.
Early history
The first contact between Czechoslovakia and Denmark occurred on 20 May 1919 when Czechoslovak President Edvard Beneš sent a note to Danish authorities asking them to recognize Czechoslovakia. Denmark responded to this positively on 25 May 1919 and Beneš went on to entrust diplomat Miroslav Plesinger-Božinov to open a representative office in Copenhagen. He presented his credentials on 27 May 1920. On 14 August 1920, the representative office was upgraded to an embassy and diplomatic relations were established on 4 September 1920. Plesinger-Božinov presented his credentials as ambassador to King Christian X on 24 September 1920. Denmark, at first, brought Czechoslovakia under the jurisdiction of the Danish embassy in Vienna but Foreign Minister Scavenius told the Czechoslovak ambassador that a Danish embassy would open in the future. Paul Nørgaard served as the first Danish ambassador to Czechoslovakia, presenting his credentials on 19 May 1921.

Why this record matters
“Czech Republic–Denmark relations” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Czech, Republic and Denmark provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 6, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q5201790. The first chronological checks are 1993, 1919, 1920 and 1921.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
