Some background info: the accent command for the hachek is \v and tells TeX:
put an hachek on the next letter. However, as v is also a normal letter, \vs
is not read as "command \v applied on s" but as control sequece \vs (which
is undefined by default. Some accent commands (like \"u, say) are different,
as they don't use letters and therefore TeX can distinguish command and
letter to be decorated.
You can use e.g. \v Skoda or \v{S}koda for a famous car from Mlada Boleslav
(Jungbunzlau).
