Babiš admits that Czechia will not meet its NATO commitment. Pavel criticizes insufficient defense spending
President Petr Pavel reacted sharply to this. He stated that Czechia is not fulfilling its commitments to NATO either in terms of defense spending or in delivering the promised military capabilities. Pavel warned that if all members of the Alliance behaved this way, NATO's collective defense would be dysfunctional. At the same time, however, Pavel insists on his participation in the NATO summit and has no intention of withdrawing from political life. idnes.cz ↗
Former Prime Minister Petr Fiala and former Defense Minister Jana Černochová disagree with Babiš's claims. Both Fiala and Černochová argue that, according to the latest report from the NATO Secretary General, Czechia met its commitments last year, and they describe Babiš's statements as untrue. In response to the failure to meet the commitments, TOP 09 criticizes the prime minister and points out that a lack of funds for the army and soldiers would only please Vladimir Putin.

On Monday, the government met without the participation of the prime minister, who is on a foreign trip through Central Asia, under the leadership of Deputy Prime Minister Alena Schillerová (ANO). The meeting also addressed the issue of high fuel prices, whose regulation is in effect until Thursday. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Babiš continues his diplomatic trip in Azerbaijan, where he met with President Ilham Aliyev at a mountain residence. The visit also included discussions about the energy group ČEZ's intention to secure a long-term contract for natural gas supplies from Azerbaijan. lidovky.cz ↗
