Defense Project Faces Collapse Risk, Former Minister Warns

A major defense project championed by Prime Minister Robert Fico and Defense Minister Robert Kaliňák faces potential collapse, according to former Defense Minister Jaroslav Naď. Naď warned that Slovakia could face a scenario it has experienced before - an unfinished project that consumes massive public resources without delivering adequate results. The criticism comes as questions mount over the project's viability and the government's ability to deliver on its promises. Fico leads the ruling Smer-SD party, while Kaliňák has returned to his previous role as defense minister in the current government coalition.
