Slovenian Defence Minister Matej Tonin endorsed the proposal for a reform of NATO presented by the alliance’s Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg after attending a virtual meeting of NATO defence minister Wednesday and Thursday.
Slovenia supports Stoltenberg’s guidance, because it means member states have not only rights but also obligations, he said, adding that it was a new way of fair burden sharing. “I see it as the beginning of the end of free riding… This concept involves either providing for our own security, or paying for others to provide it for us,” Tonin noted.
