In 1989 people of the former Czechoslovakia overthrew the forty-year hegemony of one political party and since then our society started to change. The once tempting vision of the construction of a communist society died and we found ourselves at the beginnings of capitalism with all the consequent positive and negative phenomena. For almost one decade we have been discovering that we inherited from communism an economy in virtual collapse everywhere in the country. Now we are going to enter the new millennium. We are entering a future, which is unknown. However it is possible to look for borders, limits within which society will develop in the coming decades. There are both development opportunities and development risks. Sustainable development can be considered as development opportunity or desirable scenario. Some actions, which should be made to reach such desirable scenario, are discussed in this article.
