Chief-of-staff says ambitions high, financing too low

Ljubljana, 18 April - The new chief of the general staff, Major General Alan Geder, plans to fill up the ranks of the military so that the Slovenian Armed Forces could meet the minimum requirements to fulfil national and international obligations. "The problem is that ambitions are too high and investment in the military too low," he said in an interview with the STA.
