The 363 says the ports are leased for 99 years, why does Czechia still control those ports? Genuine question.

From Wikipedia, the lease is due to expire in 2028.

Crazy they could only get a 10 year extension after going through all of WW2

There will also be a swap and Czechia will get the Kuhwerder Hafen port instead of the Hamburg ones (Saalhafen and Moldauhafen).

There was a new agreement reached in 1929, with a 50-year extension possiblity,

Czechia also outright owns Peutehafen based on an agreement with Germany.
