checks

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'corresponds with central' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'europeans we hear' is the wordplay.
'europeans' becomes 'czechs'.
'we hear' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'czechs' is a homophone of 'CHECKS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for checks that I've seen before include "Controls to secure accuracy - may accompany balances" , "Inspects" , "Examines in order to determine accuracy, etc." .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
