The reorganization will take place to streamline the department’s work, focusing on emerging threats.
“In order not to lose sight of certain cases. We are going to obtain a better quality in almost everything,” D. Jauniškis told journalists at Seimas.
In order not to miss certain cases. That goes for better quality in almost everything.
I didn’t want to specify how the SSD structure would be specifically changed. According to the department head, this is not public.
“I am just confirming the fact that there will be a structural restructuring,” he said.

Previously, D.Jauniškis had mentioned medical intelligence among the things the SSD tries to pay more attention to.
“Not to mention medical intelligence, no doubt. But we would like to pay more attention to certain threats, such as in the case of COVID-19, or other emerging threats that may arise in the future. That should be taken into account. In any case, We should streamline our operations so that we are more efficient, more reliable, and more responsive, ”said the director of SSD.
Not to mention medical intelligence, no doubt.
The gaps were visible.
According to Dainius Gaižauskas, President of Seimas NSGK, SSD reforms are necessary. According to him, certain gaps were visible due to management and operational efficiency.

“We hope that after this reform, the SSD will become even stronger and, in fact, its activities will be more effective in the areas of intelligence and counterintelligence,” said D. Gaižauskas.
Speaking about medical intelligence, the President of the Seimas NSGK explained that after the COVID-19 pandemic, all the countries of the world saw that they were not ready to respond adequately to certain situations, they did not have a system of indicators and the like.
“Intelligence actually operated one or the other information exchange system. However, the intelligence system itself did not control this area. This is why, in fact, all the countries of the European Union are introducing a new area, let’s say , this is medical intelligence, ”said D. Gaižauskas.
That is why, in fact, all the countries of the European Union are introducing a new area, say, medical intelligence.
There are questions
Vytautas Bakas, a member of the Seimas NSGK, presented his opinion on the transformation of the SSD on his Facebook account.
The MP wrote that, although it was publicly stated that the committee had supported the reform, he would not dare say so. For him, that message was quite unexpected and supposedly uncontested.

“I have heard many technical details and standard statements accompanying such reorganizations (we will save money, reduce the number of managers and the like), but it is not clear how this will affect the efficiency of the SSD, the intelligence tasks, how many experienced people will leave the service and how and the climate in the institution due to the chosen terms, “wrote V.Bak on Facebook.
It is not clear what impact this will have on the effectiveness of the SSD, the performance of intelligence tasks, how many experienced people will leave the service and, finally, how this will affect the motivation of the officials and the climate in the institution due to the chosen deadlines. .
The former president of Seimas NSGK is questioned about the fact that the reorganization begins after the rapporteur has provided information on the verbal collection of information on non-threatening people and the possible violation of the principle of political neutrality.
“Why choose a transformation period so long as to respond to the climate in the department, and finally how does it fit in with the intelligence strategy we approved about a year ago?” Will we be able to trust this institution after the reform, or will the brake balance system remain in intelligence? There are still no answers to these questions, “thinks V. Bakas.
