a. Special requirements
If the preliminary investigation was initiated without the service of a European Arrest Warrant and the European Arrest Warrant was not served to the competent regional public prosecutor’s office within 20 days after the imposition of preliminary custody, the person must be released from the preliminary custody. The competent authority to receive transit requests, including the necessary documents relating to transit requests, is the Ministry of Justice.

b. Other useful information
All grounds for refusal under the FD 2002/584/JHA have been implemented in the Czech implementation law – Act on International Judicial Cooperation in Criminal Matters No. 104/2013 Coll.
In relation to the Slovak Republic, no special consent to the prosecution, conviction or detention for the purpose of execution of a sentence or protective measure of a surrendered person for an act committed before his surrender and for which he has not been surrendered shall be required in mutual relations when surrendering persons for prosecution or execution of a sentence on the basis of a European arrest warrant. This does not apply if the surrender concerns the surrender of own nationals or if, in a particular case, the executing judicial authority decides otherwise.
