TOK FM Warsaw 14d9d Impact 5

Polish services are preparing for a potential increase in illegal arms smuggling from the east. The source noted that while current incidents are isolated, the threat remains a concern. No specific quantities or methods of smuggling were detailed in the report. The threat is linked to the eastern border regions. Officials are allocating funds for modern equipment to combat smuggling, specialized training for officers, and operational actions on smuggling routes. Police cited experiences from the Balkan wars as a precedent for potential smuggling surges. Currently, only isolated cases of private individuals attempting to transport weapons into the EU have been detected in relation to the Ukraine conflict. Polish police are undergoing specialized training as part of the Trident project, according to Central Bureau of Investigation Commissioner Paweł Żukiewicz.
