Summary/Abstract: The aim of this topic is to outline the situation in the Czech republic and give you insight into measures, which have been used to fasten and simplified criminal procedure, strenghten the situation of the damaged and the guarantee of his rights. I have focused on two provisions, which had been promising as something magnificent but the expectations have not been met. The main reason is simple. There are a lot of provisions, borders and the delimitation between them have been missing. It is necessary to improve legislation. Some measures with elements of restorative justice have been welcome, however, they have to be well – developed. Quality is much more important than the quantity. I am worried about these provisions, because there is a countertrend. Results have to be seen so new measures have been implemented. I can see a glimmer of hope. It is a new Criminal Procedure Code, that has been preparing. I belive in being surprise.
