Meeting in Warsaw for two days (4-5 April 2019), the Bucharest 9 (B9) Defence Ministers concurred on the need to bolster security cooperation not only in the region but also as part of the North Atlantic Alliance and the European Union. Security threats in the cyber domain were one of the dominating issues on the meeting’s agenda.
SVK Minister of Defence Peter Gajdoš said: “Slovakia is a responsible partner who delivers on the commitments of international organizations, and through its long-standing approach to performing tasks, it confirms that we are ready to bear our share of responsibility for building and sustaining the international security environment.”
At the meeting, the Ministers focused attention on the implementation of EU projects. “I consider the implementation of PESCO projects, which are an effective tool for strengthening the European pillar of NATO, to be an excellent way to meet this goal,” explained Head of the MOD. In this respect, Military Mobility and the V4 EU Battlegroup, to be on stand-by under Polish command from July 2019, will remain areas of priority.
The Defence Ministers of Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and Slovakia also discussed new security challenges with regard to the planned introduction of the 5G network.
