Slovak Minister of Defence Peter Gajdoš and General Secretary of the MOD Service Office Ján Hoľko participated in a video conference call with the service personnel who were on duty at the turn of the year, whilst deployed on operations and missions abroad. They wished them a prosperous 2018 and praised them for their work in the previous year in favour of the SVK Armed Forces and the Slovak Republic as a whole.
 
In the video conference call, Head of the MOD said: “Thank you for your commitment and work over the festive season. I know youʼd rather be with your close ones, but I want to reassure you that we do value your contribution to security. I wish you all the best for the New Year, may you accomplish all your professional tasks successfully and return home safely.”
 
General Secretary Ján Hoľko extended his warmest greetings to the soldiers on behalf of Parliamentary Chairman/Chairman of the Slovak National Party (SNS) Andrej Danko and on his own behalf. “I want to thank you for your service under the flag of the Slovak Republic over the past 25 years and for performing your tasks to the benefit of our country,” he said.
