The authority of the financial control of the community - connections and confrontations with the EU
ŽEMLIČKOVÁ, Kamila
In the project I discuss the issue of the authority of financial control of the community {--} connections and confrontation with EU. The pursuit of clarify the question: "What is the community?", "Which authorities does it have?", "How is its way to wield a region of the independent field of activity and in the region of the delegate sphere?" The target of the project is to make the activity of the authority clearly, let us say to specify the authorizations of the authority of financial control of the community. The community is a ground of the state. The constitution of the Czech Republic characterizes the community like a fundamental area of a citizen association which has right to self-government. Each part of the Czech Republic territory is inseparable from some districts of the community. The law number 128/2000 of statute-book, about the community (community establishment) in the wording of late directive gives wide choice of unite, to establish the confederation. In the Czech Republic, like in another states in European Union, creates each individual community the fellowships wickedly its interests. The communities have tasks in a region of the independent field of activity and in the region of the delegate sphere. The practical invoking of laws and regulations are not without the serious troubles. The communities have to meet the requirements according to the instructions from above. Strictly speaking they have not an option to influence retrospectively and determine to form of the legislation. Because the state is one and only, it can gives a definition about its interests wickedly its conceptions. To the contrary is countless numbers of communities in the Czech Republic. The disparateness of the component interests of constituent communities is thus understandable. The independent authorities have a big power (authority) in the Czech Republic. This reality brings with itself the humungous responsibility. In the Czech Republic is about 6 254 communities. About financial resources which are leak through the financial authority of territorial autonomy {--} it is about 250 milliards Czech crowns per a year {--} make decisions the members of the community and region.

Koumar, Jiří ; Čechura, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Maur, Eduard (referee) ; Chocholáč, Bronislav (referee)
The thesis deals with the issue of property transfer of servile real estates in the Estate of Melnik during the 17 century. As the main resource material was used the collection of Melnik Books of Land Ownership founded during the 80s of the 16 century. After the Thirty Years' War these books were restored in connection with the afterwar reconstruction of the Estate of Melnik and were published in a new edition until the turn of the 17 and 18 century. Besides these Books of Land Ownership we also studied other kinds of resources such as land and duties registers, land-registries, inventories and estimations which originated in the 17 century with respect to this Estate. In the end of the 17 century was formed a uniquely preserved register of serfs which enables us not only to have better knowledge of the structure of settled farmers themselves but also create the first picture of general structure of servile population in the Estate. In the introduction I tried to place the Estate of Melnik in the structure of Early Modern Times country estates. With the size ranging from medium to smaller the Estate of Melnik was formally as a chamber estate in possession of the Czech king for the most of its development in the period of Early Modern Times. Nevertheless in reality the Estate as a pawned land was held by...
