Members of Parliament have approved the Slovak Armed Forces (Amendment) Bill 2019. It aims to extend the purposes for which SVK service personnel may be deployed on missions and operations, as Slovakia follows through on its commitments under the existing international agreements it is bound by. The new legislation will come into force on 1 February 2020.
The approved bill reflects the MOD’s expertise on applied practices, the dynamically changing security landscape, and the diversity of tasks undertaken by the Slovak Armed Forces.
The new legislation details the tasks, use and control of armed forces and the areas of the SVK Government’s and the SVK Ministry of Defence’s responsibility in exercising control of armed forces in line with the Defence of the Slovak Republic (Amendment) Act 2019.
