Suca: SIS Didn't Violate Law and Acts in Accordance with Protecting State

Bratislava, January 27 (TASR) - The Slovak Intelligence Service (SIS) didn't violate the law and acts in accordance with protecting the state, stated Vice-chair of the Committee for the Supervision of the Slovak Intelligence Service (SIS) and MP Peter Suca (Smer-SD), following Monday's session, which was initiated by the opposition due to concerns about the misuse of SIS in connection with a report containing information on efforts to destabilise Slovakia. According to the MP, SIS Director Pavol Gaspar told the committee members everything he could. "The meeting lasted almost two hours, and the discussion wasn't interrupted. Everyone asked what they wanted, and the SIS director answered exactly as he should have, and as he could," Suca stated. Last week, the Slovak Security Council discussed the SIS report, which is said to contain information about attempts to destabilise Slovakia, and recommended that the government take the necessary preventive measures. President Peter Pellegrini, the House leadership, and Premier Robert Fico (Smer-SD) all described the situation as serious. The premier expressed concern about a possible attempt to organise a coup in Slovakia. lin
