Pavel’s ‘friend by his side’ Kolář will not have a NSA clearance. ‘I’m sorry, I wanted to avoid rumours,’ he said
Petr Kolář, an adviser to President Petr Pavel and a former diplomat, will not have a clearance from the National Security Office. Although he sent in an application for one, the Office of the President of the Republic has decided that he does not need one for his work at the Castle. “He is an adviser, not an employee, and it is not necessary for his work that he be familiar with classified information intended for the Office of the President of the Republic,” Mária Pfeiferová of the Castle’s communications department told Radiožurnál.
