Abstract: Bernard J., Kostelecký T. and Patočkov� V. The innovative regions in the Czech Republic and their position in the international labour market of highly skilled workers, Regional Studies . This paper analyses the possibilities and potential barriers of development of an Island of Innovation in the most innovative regions in a post-Communist country - the Czech Republic. The relation between the labour market of these regions and the Islands of Innovation is explored and the consequences of the situation for further R&D development are assessed. The analysis concludes that the most innovative Czech regions are able to attract highly qualified labour from other locations and do not suffer from a quantitatively important brain drain. On the other hand, mutual interconnections with the most developed Islands of Innovation are weak.
