Summary/Abstract: The amendment proposed in the petition aims to improve the efficiency of investigation and prosecution of persons who committed an act of vandalism by illegally placing graffiti in a public sphere. In the author’s opinion adding a new article to the Penal Code is not necessary. A modification of current provisions, e.g. by increasing sanctions provided in the Misdemeanours Code, would be a more appropriate way to achieve promoter’s goals.
