State response to hybrid threats and disinformation

What are hybrid threats? Why is disinformation dangerous? And what is the Czech state doing to protect its interests and those of its citizens from hybrid campaigns and disinformation? B. Vangeli will offer answers to these and other questions in his presentation, which will focus on why and how the issue of hybrid threats first began to be addressed at the national level, what progress has been made over the last couple of years, and what are the the biggest challenges that the Czech Republic is currently facing in this regard.
