the so-called obligated person is the developer2. This will both reduce the number of situations when
coordination can be requested, as well as the number of persons who are obliged to comply with
requests for coordination.
The hands-on experience of authorized persons shows that, primarily for time reasons, it is not realistic
for the person requesting the coordination, from the moment when he becomes aware of the intended
development of the new structure from the obligated person, to make his own spatial planning in the
given area and subsequently, within the legal period, to comply with any and all professional and
administrative obligations arising from the building regulations and standards to carry out e.g. the
potential co-placement.
It is clear from the above that it is desirable to analyse the introduction of the new obligation of the
developer with regard to the development or major renovation of line structures, particularly roads,
to create appropriate means in line structures for the placement of public communications network
elements (e.g. by creating collectors, ducts, trunks, etc.), while taking into account the principle of
efficiency and the necessary scope. Such means for the placement of public communications network
elements would be made available by the line structure owner to operators of electronic
communications networks. In general, any marginal costs involved in the construction or major
renovation of line structures would allow the application of Act No. 194/2017 Coll. and ultimately,
would promote the development of high-speed electronic communications networks that are the
backbone of digital economy and make space for new business models, modern technologies,
innovative services and applications serving the society as a whole.
Proposed Measures
Measure A
The drafting of the amendment to Act No 416/2009 Coll., to set an obligation of developers of any and
all newly developed or significantly renovated line structures to allow co-placement of passive
infrastructure elements in such line structures.
Measure B
Identification of relevant technical standards and other similar standards governing directly and
indirectly the placement of infrastructure elements of electronic communications networks in the
space of line structures and their revision to allow the placement of passive infrastructure of electronic
communications networks during the development of other line structures, including the revision of
requirements for the termination of passive elements of electronic communications networks (e.g.
ducts) and revision of requirements for the placement of active elements of electronic
communications networks.
Measure C
Analysis of an option to place the infrastructure elements of electronic communications networks in
line structures, particularly in roads (for motorways this has already been addressed in a different way),
thereby speeding up the development of such networks, or in local roads and proposing amendments
to relevant legislation where necessary. The aim is to adequately allow for any potential subsequent
