At a meeting in the Czech Republic on 12-13 May between the Swiss Minister of Justice and Police, Arnold Koller, and the Czech Ministers of Justice (Jiri Noval) and the Interior (Jan Rumi) the two countries signed a protocol to cooperate on "organised crime", computer crime, money-laundering, drug trafficking and immigration.

The two sides agreed that "organised crime" and migration presented the biggest "threats" to their internal security and that this required urgent and intensive cooperation. The Swiss Minister also offered support for the reorganisation and training of the Czech police force and invited the Czech police to special training courses. The Czech Minister offered in return to negotiate a readmission treaty with Switzerland which would allow the Swiss authorities to expel "illegal" migrants who entered via the Czech Republic back to that country.
