The master thesis deals with the institute of personal interview with the applicant for international protection, which represents one of the key parts of the international protection procedure, since in the context of it the applicant presents his reasons on which the international protection must be guaranteed and represents the core of the international protection procedure. Through the examination of European and national legislation, special emphasis is placed on the individual aspects of the institute of the personal interview, such as time to conduct a personal interview, the conduct of personal interview including the analysis of the qualifications of officials, the record of a personal interview and the possibility of conducting a personal interview through a videoconference, a personal interview in the Dublin procedure, the possibility of omitting a personal interview, special adjustments to the procedure in the case of vulnerable applicants, access to legal assistance and the analysis of the right to interpretation.
By means of a comparative legal analysis of procedures in selected EU Member States it is possible to identify the weaknesses of the current legislation and to anticipate improvements that would increase the efficiency of the procedure and improve the status of the applicant for international protection. In doing so, it is possible to gain insight into the future of legislative changes of the institute of personal interview and the entire framework of international protection in the Common European Asylum System.
