The Customs Administration of the Czech Republic will be one of the organizations whose members will receive an award for their deployment in the state of emergency. But it will not be the only ceremony the Customs Administration will attend. Besides, their members prepared a thrilling dynamic demonstration for the spectators of the NATO Days in Ostrava & Czech Air Force Days.

The closure of borders and quarantine measures meant a significant interference in the activities of the Customs Administration not only at the borders but also in the administration of taxes that fall within its competence. Both will be covered by a demonstration that the Customs Administration has prepared for NATO Days spectators, in which their officers will present action against cigarette smugglers.

"The Customs Administration will not be able to demonstrate its extensive static exhibition at this year's NATO Days, but we appreciate that spectators can look forward to an active demonstration of its activities in this situation as well," comments Zbyněk Pavlačík, chairman of Jagello 2000. "Members of this corps undoubtedly deserve to be among the awarded for their involvement during the state of emergency. For long-term cooperation in organizing the event, the Customs Administration will also be awarded the honorary ribbon of the Czech Euro-Atlantic Council."

In a short dynamic demonstration, using imitation explosives, customs officers will demonstrate the detention of an organized group of offenders who illegally import cigarettes into the country. The Operational Deployment Group will intervene against the smugglers. This Customs elite group is a well-trained unit and their members can also rely on their special equipment for particularly dangerous and crises. Great attention is paid to their training in terms of physical and psychological preparation.
