He said the service constantly watched him and his counterparts from the army club Dukla Liberec due to their trips abroad. "I definitely deny any active cooperation with the former VKR. My file is proof that the former Communist regime sought to gain the support of many people but it failed in my case. It is unfortunate that it is just the method in which the Archives of the Security Forces released my name that aims at presenting me as a communist secret service collaborator in the eyes of the public," Ploc says. However, it is clear from the file that the Aktualne.cz has obtained that Ploc informed the secret service in detail on what was going on during his visits abroad. Senior ruling Civic Democrat (ODS) deputies Walter Bartos and Tomas Hasil released the files that the VKR kept on them at the press conference on Thursday. According to the deputies and Pavel Zacek, Czech Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes (USTR) director, the files show that Bartos and Hasil did not collaborate with the service. The VKR registered them as confidants only on the basis of the statements by the VKR employees who established their files, they said. The names of ODS deputy Juraj Raninec also appeared in the VKR registration protocols. However, Raninec's file had been shredded during the mass elimination of the documents of communist bodies after the fall of the Communist regime in the former Czechoslovakia in 1989. Ploc and the Social Democrats have protested against the method in which the Archive of the Security Forces and the USTR had released the information on Ploc's featuring in the VKR registration protocols. Ploc said on Thursday he intended to take legal steps against the Archives of the Security Forces due to the case. The USTR director has rejected the criticism and said that his office acted according to the law. The Czech Archives of the Security Forces published registration protocols of the VKR on its new website www.abscr.cz. The database contains 309 registration files on about 140,000 people. It was found earlier that VKR had in its files Evzen Snitily, a former Social Democrat deputy who deserted the party, and Senator Milan Spacek (the Christian Democrats, KDU-CSL). In their cases, a court has decided that it was deliberate collaboration.
