When addressing the audience, the Chief of the Defence Intelligence Major-General V.Gvozd' said that only a few people knew about those officers and their work at the time of their life. But they served their country neither for titles nor awards. And their work deserves a true respect and recognition by the present generation of intelligence officers.
