Czech President Petr Pavel will fly out on Tuesday morning, 7 July, aboard a government aircraft from the military airport in Prague-Kbely to Ankara for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization summit. The President's Office confirmed the trip following a dispute over his participation and the composition of the delegation. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗
Pavel had previously not received from the government the mandate that the cabinet approved for negotiations at the summit, and the government also restricted his entourage. The President stated that he likely did not receive the mandate because the government assumes it will not need him during the summit. He described the cabinet's approach as unprecedented behavior. Members of the government delegation, including Andrej Babiš, are also set to fly to Turkey ahead of him, while the rest of Pavel's program remains unclear for now. idnes.cz ↗
The Ankara summit is also expected to be significant for Ukraine. Alliance member states are set to pledge Kyiv military aid worth tens of billions of euros. According to new information, a package of at least 70 billion euros annually over two years is being discussed, with the costs to be borne mainly by Europe and Canada. Germany is expected to take on the largest share. ta3.com ↗
The debate over European responsibility for defense continues even after US President Donald Trump's criticism of NATO states. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz pointed out that Berlin is investing significantly in its armed forces while also pushing for a more European alliance with less dependence on the United States. Ankara is therefore expected to see not only negotiations on support for Ukraine, but also a broader discussion on the future division of defense commitments within the alliance. hnonline.sk ↗
