Now this is a meeting where I’d like to be a fly on the wall…
The chiefs of the CIS countries’ secret services gathered for a conference at the Livadia Palace in Yalta, the Crimea, for the 19th time on Friday. It was the first such event to have been attended by the top officials of German, Spanish, Italian and French intelligence services in the capacity of observers.
Alongside such traditional themes, as the struggle against terrorism, organized crime, drugs and human trafficking and illegal migration the participants discussed ways of preventing economic crimes with the use of advanced computer technologies, the chief of Ukraine’s Security Service, Igor Drizhchany told a news conference.
Fascinating choice of observers, too. Plenty of ‘friendly’ EU states, but no Brits, no Americans and, most important of all, perhaps, no sign of Russia’s SCO stablemate China.
