Babiš: Czechia still misses NATO 2% target

Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš has admitted that the Czech Republic is not meeting NATO's minimum target of spending 2% of GDP on defense, suggesting that compliance may come next year. This follows a previous announcement in which Babiš pushed the goal to 2027, indicating continued delays. The admission underscores ongoing challenges in aligning Czech defense budgets with NATO requirements amid competing domestic spending priorities.
