Abstract

In this paper, in the “court” part, the concept of costs of criminal proceedings is considered in terms of content and time, where the types of costs are considered only with regard to the issue of the lawyer’s reward as a legal representative of a participant in the process. In the part on decisions on costs, a parallel overview is given of provisions of the Criminal Procedure Act on costs in connection with judicial practice and legal viewpoints, primarily on problematic situations in judicial practice. In the “state attorney” part of the paper, the authors deal with issues in which the state attorney decides on the costs of the criminal procedure, when the state attorney decides on the advance payment of costs, when the police are obliged to pay costs, awards to the defence attorney in the case of evidentiary actions, suspension of the procedure and payment of costs, and relief of the state attorney’s obligation for monitoring the property status of convicted persons who are exempt from paying the costs of the procedure. In the concluding remarks, the authors attempt to summarise the presented practical problems and the answers that practice has provided to these problems.
