Poland launches major security apparatus restructure
Article Abstract:
The new Polish government is launching a major restructure of the country's security apparatus, including disbanding the Military Information Service (WSI). The reforms will be supervised by the powerful new Minister Co-ordinator for Special Services, but it is highly unlikely that the government will push through the reforms with the speed it initially implied as legislative controls and the need to maintain an intelligence capability during reform process will slow the measures' implementation.
