Fico: Slovak-US agreement disadvantageous, violates Slovakia's sovereignty

The draft Defence Cooperation Agreement (DCA) between Slovakia and the USA is disadvantageous for Slovakia and violates the country's sovereignty, opposition Smer-SD party leader Robert Fico told a news conference in Presov on Wednesday, adding that he's not questioning Slovakia's commitments in NATO. The Slovak-US agreement would enable the American military to use the Slovak military airports at Malacky-Kuchyna and Sliac or, potentially, other specified facilities rent-free.
