The military counter-intelligence has uncovered a Russian spy trying to collect secret information about NATO and the EU in the Czech Republic, the daily Mlada fronta Dnes (MfD) wrote Thursday.
The agent was trying to operate in disguise and left the Czech Republic the next day after being asked to do so by military counter-intelligence officials.
Some foreign intelligence services are trying to create a ground base in the Czech Republic for their activities in other EU and NATO countries, Czech military intelligence chief Miroslav Krejcik told Nova commercial television on Wednesday.
Military counter-intelligence spokesman Ladislav Sticha told MfD that the spy had not been successful in his bid to reach sensitive NATO and documents. Military counter-intelligence agents who had been watching the spy established contact with him and asked him to leave the country when they decided his further presence in the country was inconsistent with national security.
