Bratislava-Sana
Deputy Speaker of the Slovak Parliament Juraj Bernard stressed that the military agreement that the Slovak government wants to sign with the United States is dangerous and targets Russia, as it opens the way for American forces to approach the Russian borders.
In an interview with the Slovakian Marchesa channel, Bernard refused to turn Russia into an enemy of his country, pointing out that the deployment of US forces at two military airports in Slovakia in accordance with the agreement would expose it to a geopolitical conflict.
On the other hand, hundreds of Slovaks demonstrated in front of the US embassy in Bratislava yesterday, rejecting this agreement, and raised slogans saying, "We will not extradite Slovakia."
The Slovak government agreed last week that this agreement would be signed with the US side, but its entry into force will require the ratification of the Slovak Parliament, and then the ratification of President Zuzana Chaputo.
Under the 10-year agreement, the US forces have the right to use two military airports in Slovakia for training, maneuvers, housing, deployment of forces there, and the transfer, deployment and storage of defense devices and technologies in the agreed locations, while Slovakia relinquishes its right to penal prosecution of members of the US forces in the event they commit criminal acts on Slovak territory. .
