Robert Fico, Prime Minister of Slovakia, has expressed doubts about the country's membership of NATO, disputing demands for increased defense spending. He accused Western countries of "warmongering" policies and warned that the amount proposed by NATO would severely affect Slovakia's social budget. Although he did not announce an intention to leave NATO, Fico emphasized that the country has two options: comply or withdraw. His statements have provoked negative reactions from Slovak officials, highlighting a pro-Russian bias in his government and raising concerns among European partners.
