According to the Czech official, the sabotage carried out in Europe is quite different - from terrorist attacks and arson to damage to submarine cables, jamming GPS signals and provocations against minorities to incite violent conflicts.

"Our readiness will be determined not only by technical and structural readiness, but also by civilian and human readiness," the Czech official said.
In addition, Padiourek emphasized the need to invest in security.
"Security is our shared responsibility. Common security is based on three pillars: a secure state, a sustainable society and the training of each individual," he added.
