(1) The Land Fund may sell agricultural parcels

(5) Challenge referred to in paragraph 4 The Land Fund shall not do so where, among persons who have applied for the purchase of an agricultural parcel, the beneficiary is the person whose entitlement to the transfer is due to the loss of land and the financial value of the claim represents at least 50% of the minimum price of the land for sale (hereinafter referred to as "the beneficiary with priority '), or the person who has leased the land from the Land Fund on the date of the sale and for the 36 months prior to the sale, he has been a permanent tenant or tenant of the land. Within the requested period of 36 months, the period during which the lessee or the lessee of the land was the legal predecessor of the current lessee shall be included. Such persons shall have a preferential right of sale before the other persons referred to in paragraph 1, in such a way that, in the first place in the order of priority, the beneficiary shall be a priority and in the second place the lessee shall apply that right in the application referred to in paragraph 3.
(6) The lease or lease condition shall be deemed to have been fulfilled even if the person exercising the right of priority under the lease has, for a specified period of time, held an agricultural parcel of the State's property corresponding to the size in the cadastral territory of the municipality to which the land (s) to be sold is the land-use treatment in question, resulting from a decision on the exchange or transfer of ownership rights.
(7) The person who will exercise the priority right of transfer by way of lease may in this way acquire land (s) up to a maximum of 70% of the area of land offered for sale for which he fulfils the conditions for the establishment of a preferential right on the date of the sale. Where a person exercising a priority right under the lease fulfils the conditions for the establishment of a priority right only on one parcel, the restriction referred to in the first sentence shall not apply. The total area of land acquired by way of a preference right under the lease is limited to a maximum of 500 ha.

Such consent concerning a particular parcel shall be annexed to the application referred to in paragraph 3.
(9) The transferee of agricultural parcels may transfer such parcels to a legal person of which he is a member or member and who carries on an agricultural activity on those parcels. The transfer shall also transfer all other rights and obligations of the transferor to the new acquirer to the land in question. In the case of this transfer, the Land Fund shall not apply the pre-purchase right under Paragraph 10.
(10) Where more than one beneficiary or more persons by way of lease fulfil the conditions for a priority right and apply for a transfer, the Land Fund shall invite beneficiaries meeting the conditions for the priority right to transfer, or, in the event that the transfer has not been requested by the beneficiaries using the priority right, persons meeting the conditions for the priority right to be granted by virtue of the lease, to offer a purchase price. According to the amount of the purchase price offered, the Land Fund shall establish the ranking of persons and then sell the agricultural parcel to the highest bidder in the order. If that person does not conclude a contract within the prescribed time limit (Paragraph 11 (3)), the sale under this provision shall cease. In the event that some of the sales prices offered are identical, Paragraph 6 (3) shall apply mutatis mutandis.
(11) If, within 1 month of the date of publication of the sale, they apply for the transfer of a person in accordance with § 5 and 6 meeting the conditions laid down in § 5 or § 6, they shall take precedence over the candidates in accordance with § 7, respectively.

(b) owner of the building;
(c) the municipality,

(12) Persons participating in the sale of agricultural parcels referred to in paragraph 1 shall be required to deposit bail under the conditions published when the sale of agricultural parcels is made. The amount of the deposit is 5% of the minimum price of agricultural parcels, which is announced when the sale of agricultural land is announced, but at least CZK 5,000.
(13) A person entitled to a purchase contract shall be credited with a deposit to cover the purchase price if it is concluded. Any person who has the right to conclude a purchase contract and has not exercised that right within the time limit laid down in Paragraph 11 (3) shall forfeit the deposit lodged. This bail is the income of the Land Fund. In the event of the conclusion of the purchase contract, the Land Fund shall be obliged to return the deposit lodged no later than 10 days after the date of conclusion of the purchase contract to the other persons involved in the sale.
