The Czech defense spending should be rising by 0.1% of GDP, that is CZK 4 billion a year, but everything still depends on the result of the ongoing talks between the government coalition parties, Defense Minister Martin Stropnický (ANO) said on Thursday. The increase may even be included in the state budget for 2015, Stropnický said at a Žofín Forum focusing on the state and prospects of the Czech military.
