LATVIA'S MILITARY INTELLIGENCE SERVICE MIDD LISTS SIGNS TO BE AWARE OF: UNUSUAL OR INAPPROPRIATE MILITARY AND OUTDOOR CLOTHES, RADIO EQUIPMENT, BANDAGES – AND EXCESSIVE CURIOSITY.

OTHER FORMS OF SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOR, SUCH AS NOT SEEMING TO KNOW HOW TO BEHAVE IN THE FOREST, CAN ALSO BE A WARNING SIGNAL, IT SAYS IN THE ANNUAL REPORT.

MIDD, WHICH IS ONE OF LATVIA'S THREE INTELLIGENCE SERVICES, WARNS THAT RUSSIAN SABOTEURS MAY ALSO TRY TO INCITE AND FUEL SOCIAL UNREST OR EVEN COMMIT ASSASSINATIONS OF "IMPORTANT INDIVIDUALS IN SOCIETY".

WHOEVER HAS THE MISFORTUNE TO ENCOUNTER A PRESUMED RUSSIAN AGENT SHOULD NOT PLAY HERO, ACCORDING TO THE REPORT – BUT INSTEAD REPORT THE SUSPICIONS TO THE AUTHORITIES.
