HUNGARY'S KGB-TRAINED SECURITY CHIEF According to one of the foremost providers of corporate and political intelligence in the UK, recent decisions by the Hungarian government may endanger not only the national security of the Central European state, but also of the NATO alliance. According to the Strategic Intelligence Review: 'The Hungarian government is making a concerted effort to play down concern over the controversial background of the nomination of a Soviet-era KGB trained intelligence officer as director-general of Hungary's National Security Office (NBH).

However, we believe that the case raises serious questions about the wisdom of the appointment to sensitive security posts of individuals whose past links with Moscow may leave them open to blackmail or other forms of covert pressure, particularly at a time when Russia is pursuing an increasingly aggressive policy of espionage activity aimed at NATO member states. The nomination of Col. Sandor Laborc to Hungary's key intelligence post has already attracted criticism from opposition parliamentarians belonging to Fidesz - Hungarian Civic Union (the governing party from 1998 until 2002) - who have expressed concern over the risk they claim is inherent in appointing a man who spent over six years training as an intelligence officer at the Soviet KGB's Dzerzhinsky Academy in Moscow.
