exceptionally allow the offender to leave the premises of house detention for a definite
period of time, when it is absolutely necessary to ensure vital necessities of life, medical
assistance, or to perform work. If the offender leaves the building of house detention
without the court’s prior consent or outside allowed time, the court may decide that the
imposed sentence of imprisonment shall be executed.
(4) The sentence of imprisonment may also be implemented so that the
offender in the period of maximum two years performs community service in the amount
of minimum eighty and maximum four hundred and eighty hours. The community service
shall be distributed in a way not to disturb the offender's obligations of his employment
relationship. Such form of implementation shall be decided by the court, which ordered
the sentence at the first instance, considering the objective and subjective
circumstances of the perpetrator and his consent with this kind of implementation of the
sentence. The sentence of imprisonment, which was imposed on the perpetrator for the
criminal offence against sexual inviolability, cannot be substituted by community service.
If the offender does not fulfil the tasks arising from performing community service, the
court may order the execution of the sentence of imprisonment.
Method of Execution of Fines
Article 87
(1) If a fine cannot be forcibly collected, the court shall execute it so that one
day of imprisonment shall be ordered for two daily instalments of the fine, whereby the
imprisonment may not be longer than six months.
(2) If the offender pays only part of the fine, the remaining part shall be
proportionately converted into days of imprisonment; however, if the remaining part is
paid, the execution of the sentence of imprisonment shall be discontinued.
(3) If the offender dies, the fine shall not be executed.

may be released on parole after he has served three quarters of the sentence.
(3) The offender, who has been sentenced to life imprisonment, may be
