That's right! Once their families pay the bail of 5000 Euros each, they will be shipped home. However, the case is far from over since judges in Greece remain on strike, so they are not yet charged. Here is an excerpt from a Rock, Paper, Shotgun article explaining the situation:
After four months in prison, without charge, and with the threat of 20 years in prison if convicted, Ivan Buchta and Martin Pezlar have been released on €5,000 bail each, and are now able to come home. Accused of taking photographs of military installations, the two have always maintained they were simply on holiday, visiting locations that they had previously added to the forthcoming ARMA 3. A huge home effort from family members and employers Bohemia Interactive gathered a great deal of press, and ultimately the attention of both nations’ top dogs.
The conditions of the bail are not yet known, but there are apparently no restrictions on their having to remain in Greece. And you have to assume it would be pretty tricky for Greece to pursue the pair once they’re back in the Czech Republic.

Hopefully once they are back in the Czech Republic, they can regain the normalcy of their lives and get back to doing what they love: developing Arma 3 and DayZ.
Greaseball Greece.
