According to glavcom.ua: The beginning of the conflict was on Wednesday when the Slovak police published a message about the detention of the Ukrainian on their Facebook page, expressing gratitude to 'colleagues from Ukraine and the Czech Republic for their assistance'. For the Czech police, this was unexpected since there were no agreements on priority publication.

As a result of the detention of a Ukrainian for making bomb threats in schools in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, a conflict arose between the Czech and Slovak police. The Czech side is outraged by the actions of their Slovak colleagues and accuses them of unauthorized publication of information and intentional concealment of 'a strong Russian trace' in this case.

The Czech police assert that the Slovaks tried to hide the fact that the Russian trace leads to the entire case, and not just Ukraine. Such information was confirmed by the Czech Security and Information Service after the publication by their Slovak colleagues, who promptly investigated the inaccuracies. Czech Interior Minister Vít Rakušan also noted that information about the Russian trace has been confirmed by the intelligence service.

Events in Europe show how complicated and dynamic the interactions between law enforcement agencies of different countries can be during joint investigations. Any misunderstandings or disagreements can lead to conflicts and create problems in resolving investigative matters.
