Together with their Explosive Detection Dogs (EDDs), Sergeant First Class Balázs Németh and Staff Sergeant Lajos Serb participated in a preliminary security sweep (pre-sweep) of the Olympic venues, including the area of the Louvre – in Paris.

Besides the fast-paced and very responsible task execution, there was also time for cultural relaxation – now, even Mona Lisa is already in safety! – added Kristóf Szalay-Bobrovniczky.
