At his meeting with Interior Minister Jan Kubice (unaffiliated) on Monday, Police President Petr Lessy agreed to the abolition of posts in the Police Presidium, including deputy president for strategy which hitherto Lessy had refused to consider. Although Lessy is to formally propose personnel and spending cuts, Kubice’s recommendations and approval now appear to be decisive. Reforms to the structure of federal police units include a proposal to merging the National Anti-drugs Headquarters (NPC), with the anti-organized crime unit (ÚOOZ).
