Table is defined as
CREATE TABLE firma1.klient (
kood character(12) NOT NULL DEFAULT nextval('firma1.klient_kood_seq'::regclass),
....

How to insert record to this table only if primary key does not exist ?
I tried code below but got strange error as shown in log file.
Why this error occurs ?

Pardon for my intrusion, but my experience has demonstrated that the decision if an insert or update is necessary should be done at application level.
Users will get mad with application "magically" changing their data in a multiuser high concurrence environment.
Now, if your case is just the insert, then you can try something similar to
WITH upd AS (
UPDATE employees SET sales_count = sales_count + 1 WHERE id =
(SELECT sales_person FROM accounts WHERE name = 'Acme Corporation')
RETURNING *
)
INSERT INTO employees_log SELECT *, current_timestamp FROM upd;
