I would not say harder but different.
And it depends not from country but from a specific vet. One will be more stronger, another more mild. So there are visible differences even between two vets in one country.
The biggest problem is there are no concrete rules to judge HD - ony hints and general specification....

It is not exactly about Czech Republic but about Dr.Sterc which was even much more precise than the FCI rules.
He determined the HD-degree basing only on the angles. It means dog with healty hips where the angles are not more than 105° get by him C even in in other countries such dog would be A or B....

How it was possible? Healty hips with good angles mean always HD-A. None of the categories for judging the hips include the weight of the dog...

That's right. In Slovakia you have also second interesting thing - the endurance runs. According to Hartl they say much more about the hips than only the x-rays. Because it includes not only condition of the hips but they functionality and also if a dog has correct built of the body and angulation of the legs.

I see you have similar rules as the most breeds clubs in Poland (only breeders of heavy dog breeds accept also HD-C). We want to make the same (breeding right only with HD-B and HD-A) after we will have our own club here....
But it is a pitty you were not in CZ this weekend because we had club conference and there were voices we should leave Sterc (because he is good vet even if he makes an mistake
) but maybe take for breeding dogs with HD-D and HD-E if they will pass specific endurance tests.
Some people simply do not unterstand why is it so important to have similar HD-results as in other countries.
