Nice picture! If you have any more it would probably help for the ID?
This is a Chrysis sp., it they are in general more parallel sided and not so convex dorsally as Hedychrum and Hedychridium, and their medial vein is almost straigh while its much more bent in the former genera. I dont know which species, or even species group I'm afraid, it looks interesting - hopefully Paolo can ID it properly!

Thank you Alex, my mistake. I have prepared this specimen yesterday and it is Chrysis. My colleague, specialist on Chrysididae is on holiday. After this, he will determine this one. Maybe Paolo will try it according to this picture.

Hi!!
it is Chrysis phryne Abeille. Recently listed by Tyrner (2007) for Moravia.
Linsenmaier (1968) described the subspecies C. phryne burgenlandia from Austria, Burgenland, and the Czech specimens should be referred to this subspecies.
Cheers
Paolo
