President at Slovak Army commanders’ meeting

Meeting Slovakia's commitment to invest 2 percent of its GDP in defence by 2024 and the questionable level of transparency of some modernisation projects are the biggest challenges faced by the Slovak Armed Forces, said President Zuzana Caputova following a commanders' meeting held by Chief-of-General-Staff Daniel Zmeko on Thursday. Meanwhile, Caputova praised the high esteem in which the Slovak Armed Forces are held abroad and the level of public trust in the military. Regarding investment in military she said that: "Money mustn't go solely on purchases or ongoing activities; it must also be invested in infrastructure and training soldiers". As with the appointment of judges and ambassadors, Caputova wants to pay attention not only to proficiency but also to personal traits when appointing generals.
