Federalni Informacni Sluzba
Federal Intelligence Service, Czech counterintelligence service, from January-July 1991, founded by the transformation of UOUD and was serving the Ministry of State. Almost all StB workmen were fired, but many of them changed into the Ministry itself. FIS also fired some "unsuitable" post-November people (e.g. John Bok). J.Ruml and J.Krizan proposed J.Novotny for the leading post, but he didn't show much experience so the real lead was taken by Z.Vodslon. The Operations Department was taken by a 50s-60s StB agent J.Vostry. The FIS was dismissed on 1.7.91 and the FBIS was founded.The FIS didn't record any major successes and only minor affairs occurred. FIS was divided into several departments (counterintelligence departments against the KGB, against former Soviet states, against Western states, anti terrorist and analytic sections). The FIS had over 1,000 employees.
