One hundred Slovak soldiers will be part of NATO's Eastern Sentry operation and will operate mainly in Poland and Romania. The Slovak parliament has agreed to send soldiers to the mission despite opposition from the ruling Slovak National Party (SNS). The government's proposal was supported by opposition MPs in parliament.
Slovakia will send about a hundred of its soldiers and equipment to a NATO mission to strengthen air defense and reconnaissance capabilities on the Alliance's eastern flank. The Slovak Chamber of Deputies approved this on Thursday by a large majority of the votes of the deputies present. The government coalition was not united in the vote. The opposition supported the bill.
The Slovak National Council on Thursday approved the deployment of up to 101 members of the Slovak Armed Forces as part of the alliance's Eastern Sentry activity. Slovak soldiers will operate primarily in Poland and Romania, where they will help monitor airspace, provide early warning, and create a common picture of the situation on NATO's eastern flank.
