On 25 March 1968 a Co-Production Agreement was signed between Italy and Czechoslovakia. It entered into force on the same day. After the dissolution of the ČSSR, the Agreement is upheld between Italy the Czech Republic as the Successor State.

The Agreement applies to both full length and short films (there are special rules for the latter). Producers from third countries may join, if their country is linked to both Italy and the Czech Republic by a co-production agreement.

Financial contribution of a co-producer shall be at least 30% (in the case of multilateral co-productions or exceptionally under certain conditions, 20% are the minimum).
