Opposition warns drone downing in Slovakia 'matter of time' as government criticized for inaction

Opposition MP Juraj Šeliga warned that it is only a matter of time before a drone crashes on Slovak territory, criticizing the government for deliberately taking no action to address the threat. Šeliga, a member of the liberal Progressive Slovakia party which sits in opposition to the ruling coalition led by Robert Fico's Smer-SD, stated that Slovakia possesses the necessary technology to deploy defensive measures. The warning comes amid ongoing concerns about airspace violations as the war in Ukraine continues to generate security risks for neighboring countries, with drones and missiles occasionally straying into NATO member states' territory.
