President of the Slovak Republic Andrej Kiska, who concurrently acts as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Slovak Republic, today promoted General Staff (GS) Colonel Slavomír Staviarsky to Brigadier, the most junior General appointment, and Brigadier Ľubomír Svoboda to the rank of Major General. Furthermore, he promoted Colonel (Rtd) Ivan Čierny to the rank of Brigadier for his life-long achievements in advancement of military sports.
Reflecting on the promotions, SVK Minister of Defence Peter Gajdoš said: “Every single generalʼs star is a recognition of the soldierʼs work in favour of the SVK Armed Forces and Slovakia, albeit often at the expense of oneʼs own family and close ones. I believe the promotions will motivate the Generals to push the limits of the highest standards expected of them. At the same time, they will be the role models for other service personnel to follow.”
In his remarks, SVK President Kiska said: “Based on the proposal of the SVK Government of December 2017, your promotion today is a natural recognition of your service in the Slovak Armed Forces. That is why the Government and I, along with our citizens in particular, expect that you will live up to the solemnity of your ranks as you perform your activities.”
Offering his thanks on behalf of the Generals, newly appointed Brigadier Slavomír Staviarsky said: “We would like to thank you for the trust you have put in us. On behalf of us all, I would like to express our conviction and assure you that in our service to the benefit of the Slovak Republic we will at all times act, conscientiously and in good faith, so as not to betray this trust and to be an asset to the security and defence capability of our country.”
Brig Staviarsky currently holds the appointment of Chief of Staff for Strategic Planning, Maj Gen Svoboda serves as Commander SVK Air Force, Brig (Rtd) Čierny is the former Director of the Military Sports Centre, who played a major role in advancement of military sports.
