    What would be the diminutives of Dobroslav?

    Slávek would certainly be possible.

    Slávek can be used for more names though - for those ending on "slav" (Miroslav, Dobroslav, Radoslav etc.)



    Maybe also Dobroslávek.

    Are you sure it is a Czech person? The name is rare in the Czech countries.

    Yes, it can be used in the Czech Republic, though not very often. I think it's more common in Serbia and Croatia, but it's in the name day calendar on this site (it's not in the diminutive section though).
