The ODA was established in 1989 by a group of intellectuals as a conservative-liberal party , based on ideas often expressed in The Salisbury Review .

In 1992 legislative election , ODA obtained over 300,000 votes ( 5,93 per cent of all votes ) and gained 14 seats in Czech National Council .

Following financial scandals of the ODS , the coalition fell apart . Both the ODS and KDU-ČSL participated in caretaker government of Josef Tošovský .
