The paper resumes current ammendments to the Czech Criminal Code pertaining to so-called diversions in criminal proceedings. It deals with a possible impact of the changes in practice since it is the law maker’s effort to increase the number of the share of cases that are closed in preliminary procedings. A significant transformation of the conditional suspension of filing a punishment proposal is a consequence of the increase of the number of cases in summary preliminary proceedings, and an attempt to reduce the number of petty cases brought before court. In the conclusion, some legislative proposals are mentioned which would have an impact on the position of public prosecution in preliminary procedings.
