US Ambassador: DCA not setting up any permanent military bases in Slovakia

The draft Defence Cooperation Agreement (DCA) between Slovakia and the USA does not involve setting up any permanent military bases in Slovakia; the US Armed Forces would be allowed to stay in Slovakia only with Bratislava's permission, US Ambassador to Slovakia Bridget Brink has claimed in a statement. Brink noted that approval of the DCA is Slovakia's decision as a sovereign and independent country.
