BIS counter intelligence: Russia remains biggest threat to Czech Republic

Russia remains by far the biggest threat to the security of the Czech Republic, the Czech counterintelligence service BIS says in its annual report for 2023. The counterintelligence service warned particularly about heightened cyber threats and risks associated with new technologies. "Russia's efforts to polarize the public, spread disinformation or engage in sabotage activities pose a serious security risk to the Czech Republic," the intelligence agency says. It also warns against China's heightened intelligence activities on Czech territory, Islamic terrorism and extremism.
