Globsec to move from Bratislava to Prague

The international security conference Globsec is moving from Bratislava to Prague for its 2024 edition, Seznam Zprávy reports. The event came under fire in recent months from Prime Minister Robert Fico in Slovakia, who repeatedly criticised the conference and said he would rather give the money for it to other institutions. Meanwhile, it received the support of the Czech President Petr Pavel, who signed the official patronage of the conference on Monday. The Globsec headquarters will remain in Slovakia.

The event, which aims to promote dialogue on foreign and security policy issues, has been held 18 times in the Slovak capital. It will take place this year in Prague from August 30 to September 1.
