The Military Representation of the Slovak Republic to the European Union and NATO bodies will be expanded from 94 to 107 members of the Slovak Armed Forces in 2023. This follows from the material of the Ministry of Defence of the Slovak Republic on the update of the military representation, which was approved by the deputies of the National Council of the Slovak Republic on Wednesday. "The update of the military representation is proposed in response to changes in the global security environment, reflecting the needs of the Slovak Republic in the process of implementing transformational changes, valid international commitments to NATO and EU allies and bilateral agreements with partners," the submitted material reads. The expansion of the military representation is also related to the implementation of defence and deterrence measures on NATO's eastern flank.
