NATO would set up new force integration units (NFIU) in Slovakia and Hungary to complement the six existing units in Eastern Europe. Hungarian Defence Minister István Simicskó says the unit to be built in Székesfehérvár, SW of Budapest, will boost Hungary’s security without endangering anyone.
The new NATO force integration unit to be built in Székesfehérvár will boost Hungary’s security without endangering anyone, the new Hungarian Defence Minister István Simicskó was quoted by the Hungarian news agency MTI as saying.
On Thursday, Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg announced that NATO would set up new NATO force integration units in Slovakia and Hungary to complement the six existing units in eastern Europe.
Simicskó said in a statement that the NFIU in Szekesfehervar will be used for international military exercises and training in times of peace, and for coordinating NATO troops arriving in Hungary during times of crisis. The minister said the NFIU will strengthen NATO’s collective defence and will also fill an important void in the alliance’s defence, as Hungary has not had a NATO command centre since its accession in 1999.
