Komorous to step down as head of National Anti-Drug Centre

The daily Právo has written that the head of the National Anti-Drug Centre Jiří Komorous is stepping down, a move confirmed, the paper writes, by police president Oldřich Martinů. Mr Komorous has headed the centre since 1995 and is expected to leave his post in one month. The official, occasionally a controversial figure for activities prior to 1989 (namely for applying for a post with the Communist era secret police, the StB) - is leaving at his own request. He has declined to comment the move so far.
