The intention to increase defence spending to up to 5% of GDP has sparked strong reactions. Among the speakers discussing the topic were Lubomír Metnar, Chair of the Defence Committee of the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic, and Jiří Hynek, President of the Defence and Security Industry Association of the Czech Republic. The working breakfast was organised by the Institute for Politics and Society as part of the expert accompanying programme of NATO Days in Ostrava 2025, with the support of the NATO Information Centre.
