Ministr vnitra Lubomír Metnar (ANO) odvolá ředitele Státního ústavu jaderné, chemické a biologické ochrany Tomáše Dropu kvůli zjištěním o školení čínských vojenských expertů v ústavu. Řekl to ve čtvrtek Deníku N. Spolupráci s experty z pekingské vojenské akademie označil za bezpečnostní riziko, situaci chce probrat se zpravodajskými službami. Dropa webu řekl, že Číňané o návštěvu a kurz požádali a že se českému výzkumu vyplatí. Na informaci o odvolání podle serveru ředitel ústavu zatím nereagoval.

Do areálu výzkumného ústavu u Příbrami jezdí čínští experti podle Deníku N třetím rokem, za květnové školení zaplatili téměř 800 tisíc korun. Další bylo podle webu plánované na podzim. Experti se podle informací Deníku N učili, jak detekovat různé biologické látky, plánovali se zúčastnit i školení zaměřené na vojenské technologie. „Nyní se řeší, co všechno se mohli dozvědět, kde byli a tak dále,“ řekl serveru Metnar.

Podrobnosti připravujeme.

"It must end immediately". "The training of Chinese military experts shocked Metnara, he dismissed the head of the laboratory".

Czech Minister of Interior Lubomír Metnar announced he would immediately dismiss the director of the State Institute for Nuclear, Chemical, and Biological Protection, Tomáš Dropp, following revelations that Chinese military experts have repeatedly accessed Czech laboratories. The training sessions, organized by the Peking Military Academy under China's army, focused on detecting biological agents and military technologies. Dropp defended the cooperation, stating it was initiated by the Czech side and financially beneficial, with payments exceeding 800,000 CZK for May's training alone.
