Laureates receive ČEPS security medals in Czechia

The transmission system operator honoured representatives of the security services with ČEPS Security Medals. The ceremony took place on 25. 10. 2023 in the Ball Game Hall at Prague Castle. The medals were presented to the laureates on behalf of ČEPS by board member Pavel Šolc and security director Martin Bílek.

The “ČEPS Security Medal” is awarded to employees of public administration and local government bodies, and members of the Integrated Rescue System services—particularly the Police of the Czech Republic, the Fire Rescue Service of the Czech Republic and the Army of the Czech Republic—who have made a significant contribution to the successful fulfilment of ČEPS’s objectives, tasks and commitments in the area of critical infrastructure protection.

“The ČEPS Security Medals are an expression of recognition and gratitude to representatives of the security services, public administration and local government for their high level of cooperation in protecting the transmission system,” says Martin Bílek, director of the Security Division at ČEPS.
