The Public Prosecutor’s Office system was enacted by the Act no. 283/1993 Coll., on Public Prosecutor’s Office, effective as of January 1, 1994, in compliance with Article 109 of the Constitution, under which the function of the Public Prosecutor’s Office (státní zastupitelství) was performed by the Prosecution Service of the Czech Republic (prokuratura) prior to the establishment of the Public Prosecutor’s Office. Thus it replaced the former system of Prosecution Service, which  based on the principles of unity, centralization, and monocracy. Public Prosecutor’s Office is conceived as a component of the executive power. It is part of the Ministry of Justice, and it has no independent relations with constitutional authorities, such as the Parliament and the President of the Republic. The amenment effected by the Act no. 14/2002 Coll., effective as of March 1, 2002, emphasized the position of the Public Prosecutor’s Office as a state authority ensuring the application of law in a specified area of justice to the benefit of the society and in public interest. Hence the Public Prosecutor’s Office is to fulfill a significant role not only in the system of criminal justice but also in non-criminal are, while observing the need to protect human rights and prevent criminal activity. The amendment significantly extended the range of powers of the Prosecutor General with respect to the whole system of Public Prosecutor’s Office, since before the amendment the control mechanism directed at the lowes levels of the system of Public Prosecutor’s Office could be applied only in a very limited way .
