Defence expert: Slovenia not pursuing proactive policy in EU, NATO

Ljubljana, 27 March - There is a lack of awareness in Slovenia that the country must provide for the defence aspect of its sovereignty if it wants to be an equal partner in the international community, says defence expert Anton Grizold. He believes that Slovenia also lacks strategic leadership, or a proactive policy in both the EU and NATO.
