How to set a collation with mysqli?

My database uses utf8_czech_ci collation and I want to set it to my database connection too. Mysqli_set_charset won’t let me set collation, if I don’t happen to want the default one, utf8_general_ci. Here was suggested first to set the charset through mysqli_set_charset and then to set collation by SET NAMES. So I did it and connection collation is still utf8_general_ci.
