One year after Operational-Technical Agency (OTA) Director Zoran Angelovski expressed satisfaction with the way it functioned and stressed that it was established to prevent any misuse of the electronic communications interception measure.
In an interview with MIA he talks about the role, responsibilities, the possibility of abuse, saying that there is no possibility of “bombs” or “Big Ear” happening again.
Angelovski told MIA that the amount of 7,000 euros that was publicly announced for the rent OTA pays for its headquarters at Telekom is incorrect. The interview talks about both the number of employees and the number of cases in 2019 in which OTA technically mediated the activation of the communications interception measure. In September 2019 as of September, OTA technically mediated the activation of the communications interception measure in a total of 369 communications.
Regarding how many cases in 2019 OTA technically mediated the activation of the interception of communications and whether there were any for the purposes of the WCO, he says that in 2019 as of September, OTA technically mediated the activation of the interception measure of communications in total 369 communications.
