travelled to Zlin on the 25th May 2004.


The IBSSA leaders visited the new Headquarters of IBSSA Czech Republic

of the company. There will be a Conference room for 250 people, guest
rooms and 200 offices of IBSSA CZ and GRADDO and also of the security
services and of related trainings in the new Headquarters. Significant
outdoor facilities belong to the new HQ as well. One of the highest standard
indoor shooting-range and training centre is nearly ready in "Graddoland".
Training courses, camps, championships, and seminars will be held here
in the future. All these things capacitate the new Headquarters for organising
the forthcoming IBSSA Congress and its side events, such as the high-level
individual and team Bodyguard Championships.


According to the above-mentioned things Dr. Alexandr CACH reported that
in March 2005 he intends to organise the 10th Congress of IBSSA and its
side events in the Czech Republic.

Honorary Membership diploma. During their visit the leaders of IBSSA
contacted Dr. Tony BROWN on the phone in order to discuss several things
on future cooperation. Numerous other meetings took place in Zlin in
connection with collaborations in the fields of Economy, Culture, Sport,
which affect the future development of IBSSA as well, since big international
events will be organised in Moscow, in the USA and all around Europe
- such as the Mike TYSON vs. V. KLICSKO heavyweight boxing championship.
