Following a visit to Bratislava the day before, our Executive Director Detlef Schröder met today with high-level Czech authorities in Prague.
During the first meeting with Jiří Nováček, First Deputy Minister of Interior and Deputy Police President Martin Vondrášek, a shared future vision for CEPOL and Czech expectations towards the Agency and its priorities were discussed.
The Executive Director commented on the meeting:
I am very grateful for the very active and interesting debates here in Prague! I could learn very interesting aspects of the current situation in the Czech Republic! We shared our concerns about the digital challenges of law enforcement, e.g. the relevance and misuse of social media and fake news placed there. Great thanks for the excellent hospitality provided!
Future cooperation with CEPOL and aspirations of the Police Academy of the Czech Republic in Prague were among key topics discussed during our Executive Director Detlef Schröder visit to Academy's Rector Dr Josef Salač the same day.
Detlef Schröder shared his views on this meeting too:
It was a pleasure an honour to meet the senior representatives of Czech Republic services today in Prague! We have had very fruitful discussions with good perspectives towards even deeper cooperation in the future. I very appreciated the open and constructive spirit of our talks. We touched upon the main current challenges for law enforcement in Europe, e.g. terrorism, linked to this radicalisation, cybercrime and digital challenges and serious organised crime. A special focus was also on the risk of manipulations of elections.
