Russian spies target the Czech Republic
[Prague Post] Lidové noviny reveals the scale of Moscow's influence and intelligence gathering in the Czech Republic

Prague, May 15 (ČTK) -- The latest developments in Ukraine have stepped up the activities of Russian agents in the West, including the Czech Republic, which is an extremely interesting target for Russian spies, daily Lidové noviny (LN) writes today.

"It is no secret that the Czech Republic is an extremely interesting destination for the Russian services," Karel Randak, former head of the Czech civilian counter-intelligence, is quoted as saying.

"A large Russian community lives here, and there are interesting investment opportunities here," he added.

"Whenever they succeed in proving we are not a firm link of the EU and NATO, it is a victory for them," Andor Šandor, former head of the military counter-intelligence, told the paper.
