Biden to meet with Czech PM and other NATO representatives

Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala is set to take part in a meeting on Wednesday with US President Joe Biden, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and other representatives of the so-called Bucharest Nine, which includes states that make up NATO’s eastern flank in Europe. The meeting in Warsaw is set to take place on the eve of the anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Support of Ukraine and the strengthening of NATO’s eastern flank will dominate the agenda.

The Bucharest Nine was set up in 2015 in reaction to Russia’s aggressive policy towards Ukraine. It is made up of Bulgaria, Czechia, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and Slovakia.
