eng	Some Issues Connected with the Threats and Opportunities for eParticipation in the Czech Republic	All the European countries strongly support development of information and knowledge society on the governmental level because knowledge is supposed to be an absolute need for the next sustainable development of all the countries. At the same time they want to involve citizens in public deals so they provide information and electronic services on Web sites to let people more easily participate on governmental decisions. Land plans of large territorial units are given as an example in the case of Pardubice Region. In any case, eParticipation needs citizens with some basic computer and Internet skills - a digital literacy which is still not so common. Digital literacy of the citizens of the Czech Republic is very low so a strong attention must be paid to education of the citizens. The low level of digital literacy is suprisngly a problem of people of all ages. This is the reason why some impacts and results of the Czech state information policies on citizens are briefly described, more specifically results of Czech Statistical Office surveys, results of impacts of State Information Policy in education at the selected high schools in Pardubice, and one attempt to overcome impacts of digital divide on old people and children living in children's homes (forest houses).
