Public institutions

There are some statewide institutions that are more or less independent from bodies of the three branches of state power. Besides the legislative, executive and judicial power it establishes other specialized authorities – the Supreme Audit Office (Chapter V CCR) and the Czech National Bank (Chapter VI CCR). The Public Defender of Rights (the Ombudsperson), has been established only by an ordinary statute, distinctly from some other European countries. From the material perspective the three institutions may be recognized as executive or administrative authorities or authorities with executive or administrative functions, but formally they are authorities sui generis, excluded from the standard three components of state power.
