Switzerland:Swiss-Czech cooperation
artdoc July=1994

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.
