Vit Jedlicka has been actively involved with the liberty movement since his early high school days. A special turning point that transformed his thinking was when he read Frederic Bastiat. Jedlicka received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Economics, Prague, Czech Republic in 2009 with a thesis on central banking and monetary policy. He started a libertarian educational NGO whose video channels have more than 20 million views. He received his Master’s degree in political science from the CEVRO Institute in 2014 with his final thesis on Global Governance.
On Monday, April 13, 2015, he founded the Free Republic of Liberland and was elected its first President. In the span of eight years, well over half a million people have registered and applied to become citizens. He has been profiled in The New York Times Magazine, The Daily Telegraph, USA Today and has been interviewed on Fox Business Network, Bloomberg Television, Euronews and many other TV networks. He has also been a speaker at dozens of conferences including the Horasis Global Meeting, TedX, Freedom Fest, Blockchain Summit, ALEC meeting and St. Gallen Symposium. From the day the foundation of Liberland, President Vit Jedlicka and his team have promoted Liberland worldwide, obtaining international recognition.
His vision and mission to create the freest jurisdiction on the planet have taken off. The Free Republic of Liberland wants to set an example and bring about change in the world based on blockchain technologies and decentralized applications where fairness, transparency, security and prosperity for its citizens is the rule of the day and where “to live and let live” is the norm.
