| De Croo in Bratislava: Belgium Willing to Send Troops to Slovakia If Need Be |
| Bratislava, 13.04.2022 |
|
| Belgium would be willing to send troops to Slovakia in the event of a NATO proposal to strengthen the Alliance’s eastern flank further, Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo stated following talks with his Slovak counterpart Eduard Heger (OLaNO) in Bratislava on Monday, stressing that security in Europe is a collective issue.
The Slovak premier highlighted the need for cooperation between European states in their efforts to eliminate their dependence on Russian gas and oil. Slovakia is a stable and responsible partner in transporting gas to Western Europe, and if gas starts to flow to Europe from a different direction than the east and Slovakia thus finds itself on the opposite end of gas pipelines, other countries need to show the same kind of responsibility towards Slovakia, he said.
The Belgian prime minister said that he understands this requirement, noting that he sees an opportunity for cooperation between Belgium and Slovakia in the field of nuclear energy or hydrogen.
Heger reiterated his support for Ukraine’s interest in becoming a member of the European Union. He claimed that the provision of Slovak MiG-29 fighter jets is under consideration, maintaining that negotiations are already underway with partners on securing Slovakia’s airspace.
