Younger generation and people with higher education voted mostly for Karel Schwarzenberg who has very modern campaign on social media. Also big cities and Czechs voting from abroad gave in majority their vote to Karel. But generally euro sceptic and socially thinking Czechs from countryside eventually chose Miloš Zeman who was focusing on social stability and Czech national identity in the country (in the controversial manner) to be their new president.
