Prosecutor-General rejects Slovak-US defence deal

The Prosecutor-General's Office attached 35 fundamental objections to the draft of Slovak-US defence cooperation agreement, over which it entirely rejects the draft that has been submitted for comments, Prosecutor-General Maros Zilinka posted on Facebook on Tuesday.

The post didn't specify the objections. The Slovak-US agreement would enable the American military to use the Slovak military airports at Malacky-Kuchyna and Sliac or, potentially, other specified facilities rent-free. The agreement is to last for ten years.

The deal would also enable Slovakia to draw financial resources for its Armed Forces. Any infrastructure built on the Slovak soil and financed by the USA would remain the property of Slovakia. Defence Minister Jaroslav Nad (OLaNO) declared that the document fully respects the sovereignty of Slovakia.
