Hello Frederik. I think a resolute answer to this question is to divide it by “kraje” that is admin level 4, because everyone knows what they are, unlike with the admin level 3 regions. In my opinion it is also going to be helpful to be able to download data based on these level 4 regions. With wishes of a calm mind and good health,
