Defense Minister Jaroslav Baska and Chief of General Staff of the Slovak Republic’s Armed Forces General Lubomir Bulik led Slovakia’s official delegation on a visit to the national contingent in the United Nations Peace-Keeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) on Monday. Baska told reporters that Slovakia intends to stage a bid for UNFICYP Commander. “Over the years of serving in this mission, Slovak soldiers have made a name for themselves. In the course of the next year the Commander of the UNFICYP is to be replaced so we intend to contest the position,” he said.
