Summary/Abstract: The amended Act of 20 March 2009 on mass events security and the executive legislation very clearly specified State Organizations responsible for security at such events, pointing in particular to the organizers and the council of the local authorities issuing the permit. It all resulted in a general, favorable for the Police change in the approach to the obligation of of securing an event. The view, functioning before the adopton of these laws, only held the Police responsible for making events in stadiums and other venues secure. Therefore, after implementation of the mentioned Act, this duty was assigned to the organizer instead of the Police. Howeve, the law, even in the amended from of 2009, did not meet all expectations of the legislature.
