Summary:The problem of the failure of evidence in criminal proceedings is a neverending topic. Individual states search for ways to adjust their Codes of Criminal Procedure – under the observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms - so that the law enforcement authorities are able to produce sufficient evidence that would lead to successful criminal proceedings. This paper will deal with problems of an institute of detention of a witness in criminal proceedings, in particular with respect to the legal regulation of individual selected European countries. Individual legal regulation will be compared, with the intention of obtaining inspiration for the recodification of the Code of Criminal Procedure in the Czech Republic.
