Revision of the Legal Regulation of the Civil Service
Mgr. Kateřina Blažková, Police Academy of the Czech Republic in Prague, Faculty of Security Management, Department of Private Law Disciplines
The paper discusses the amendment to the Civil Service Act in force from 1 January 2023 and its effects, which may, as a result, threaten depoliticization, efficiency and performance, transparency, professionalism, and stability, and thus possibly disrupt the security of the rule of law. It introduces the readers to the most significant changes with an emphasis on their positives and negatives. The amendment to the act contains beneficial changes, including conceptual ideas, but without appropriately chosen means of implementation.
