This report evaluates Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI) threats to the 2025 Czech presidential elections. It was developed through the project ‘FIMI Defenders for Election Integrity’. The project consortium brings together 10 member organisations of the Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference Information Sharing and Analysis Centre (FIMI-ISAC), which offer unparalleled expertise in developing a multi-stakeholder FIMI framework before and during elections, thereby serves to also strengthen FIMI defender communities and democratic institutions.

The FIMI-ISAC (Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference Information Sharing and Analysis Center) is the first ISAC worldwide dedicated to fighting FIMI and creating common standards in this field. It unites a group of like-minded organisations that protect democratic societies, institutions, and the critical information infrastructures of democracy from external manipulation and harm. Through collaboration, the FIMI-ISAC enables its members to detect, analyse, and counter FIMI more rapidly and effectively while upholding the fundamental value of freedom of expression. FIMI-ISAC does not act independently to counter FIMI. Instead, enhancing collaboration empowers its members to do so more effectively.
