The meeting was arranged and attended by then-secret agent Alexei Petrov, who later became adviser to the former head of the State National Security Agency (DANS) and served in that post until last year when he was jailed as part of a high profile anti-mafia police operation, dubbed "Octopus," not related to the events surrounding Petkov's resignation.
Sastanak je priredio i bio je prisutan tadašnji tajni agent Aleksej Petkov, koji je kasnije postao savetnik bivšem šefu Državne agencije za nacionalnu bezbednost (DANS) i na tom mestu je bio do prošle godine, kada je strpan u zatvor u okviru antimafijaške policijske operacije „Oktopod“, koja nije povezana sa događajima zbog kojih je Petkov podneo ostavku.
