| President Supports Slovak-US DCA |
| Bratislava, 21.01.2022 |
|
| Slovak President Zuzana Caputova supports the conclusion of the Defence Cooperation Agreement (DCA) with the USA, TASR learnt on Thursday.
However, part of the authorisation to sign, which she’ll give to a member of the Government within the process of its adoption, will be an interpretation statement of how Slovakia sees the agreement. She did not find any conflict with the Slovak Constitution from constitutional lawyers, therefore she won’t address the Constitutional Court.
According to Caputova, the American side doesn’t have to sign the interpretation clause. We’ll attach to the agreement our interpretation in line with how it is interpreted by the Government members and me. That means, it is how we read the agreement, what we see there, what we don’t see there,” she said. Theoretically, it’s possible that the USA would reject the clause. “If it [USA] rejects it [the agreement], then we aren’t interested in signing the agreement, because this is what we insist on in this agreement,” she added.
The DCA deal was greenlighted by the Government last week. It still needs to be passed by Parliament and ratified by the president. The DCA would enable American military forces to use Slovakia’s Malacky-Kuchyna and Sliac military airbases and other facilities and premises by agreement for a period of ten years. The Government representatives declared that the agreement doesn’t endanger Slovakia’s sovereignty.
