European Union Commissioner Marta Kos faces new charges of collaboration with the Yugoslav secret police.
Marta Kos, who holds the position of Enlargement Commissioner, is back under pressure following allegations that she may have collaborated with the Yugoslav secret service (UDBA) in the 1980s.
The documents currently being analyzed have been published in a book by Slovenian author Igor Omerza and have been openly discussed in the European Parliament.
According to these documents, published during an event organized by MEP Romana Tomc, there are indications related to the name of Marta Kos in the secret service archives, reports Politico.
Tomc claims that during her testimony before the European Parliament committee, the Slovenian stated that she had not cooperated with this service. However, the new documents suggest the opposite.
The MEP has sent an official letter to the leaders of the European Commission, requesting clarification on the storage of these documents and whether the Commission will verify their accuracy, or take measures if it turns out that Kos provided false information during the confirmation process.
A Commission spokesperson said the Commission had no further comment and that Kos's appointment had passed the standard vetting process, including approval by the European Parliament. Kos had previously denied the allegations, calling them "disinformation".
Documents related to UDBA, the secret service of the former Yugoslavia, remain a sensitive political issue in the region and are increasing demands for more transparency from European authorities, to clarify the past and preserve the integrity of senior officials. /Telegraph/
