International leaders for Globsec conference in Prague in August

The heads of state of Finland, Denmark, Slovenia, Latvia, Montenegro and Serbia will attend the Globsec security conference due to take place in Prague at the end of August and the beginning of September, the organisers announced on Wednesday.

The Slovak-based NGO Globsec, which is organising the event, announced in March that it would be moved from Bratislava to Prague, where it will take place under the patronage of President Petr Pavel. About 2,000 guests from more than 60 countries are expected to attend the conference.

According to Globsec founder and director Robert Vass, the move of the Globsec Forum from Slovakia to Prague is an opportunity for the country to become an important platform for international dialogue and to create a strong debate between different opinions in Europe.
