Abstract
This article deals with two principles – the principle of
legality and the principle of opportunity which can be seen as
contradictory at first sight because only the first mentioned
is considered to be a traditional pillar of criminal procedures
in continental European countries. The main focus of this
article is to emphasize the role of the principle of
opportunity in the Czech criminal procedure and to summarize
basic institutes which are an expression of this principle.
