:I'm not sure if it was actually [[Bohemia]] in this case, rather than [[Moravia]], having considered that Borůvka lived and worked in [[Brno]], the capital of Moravia. Unfortunately outside the [[Czech Republic]], there is a strong tendency to use the name Bohemia to refer to the Czech Republic as a whole, not just to the historical land. Unfortunately, though, I was not able to find any online resource proving this assumption - so I can base only on what my lecturer has told here at the Faculty of informatics at the [[Masaryk University]] in Brno. Is there someone who could give a source to confirm that it was actually in Bohemia (i.e. in the region around [[Prague]])? [[User:Blahma|Blahma]] 15:06, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

::I think that you are probably right about Moravia. Dr. Nesetril form Charles Uni (who knew Boruvka personally and knew some first-hand stories about this algorithm) once mentioned that it was northern Moravia that they wanted to electrify. I didn't ask him how sure he was about this piece of information, though. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/74.136.208.121|74.136.208.121]] ([[User talk:74.136.208.121|talk]]) 02:37, August 29, 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:: Actually, southern Moravia (sorry about that). At least according to Kapitoly z diskretni matematiky by Matousek and Nesetril, which cites "Nekolik vzpominek na matematicky zivot v Brne" in Pokroky mat. fyz. a astr. 22 (1997) 91-99. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/74.136.215.67|74.136.215.67]] ([[User talk:74.136.215.67|talk]]) 03:35, 8 September 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
