Trump chce, ať Česko plní závazky. „Nejsme jejich kolonie,“ opáčil Babiš
Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš strongly opposed the United States during parliamentary questions, reacting to reports that Czech diplomats received warnings from the American administration before the NATO summit in Ankara. The US reportedly urged Czech officials to focus on fulfilling their defense spending commitments rather than explaining why they have failed to meet them. Babiš emphasized that the Czech Republic is a partner, not a colony, and criticized the US for implying such a relationship. The Czech government has struggled to meet its target of allocating at least 2% of GDP to defense, with the US now advocating for 5%. According to documents cited by *Deník N*, the US warned that if Czech leaders focused on justifying their failure to reach 2%, it would severely damage their credibility. Babiš initially dismissed the claims as fabricated but later acknowledged he has met with Donald Trump multiple times and has accommodated the US in other matters, such as caring for an American citizen suspected of having Ebola. The Czech government plans to commit to increasing defense spending, aiming for 3.5% of GDP by 2035. However, Babiš stated that the country cannot afford to
The Czech Republic’s President Miloš Zeman has seen his role in the upcoming NATO summit in Ankara partially adjusted after initial resistance from the government. According to reports, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs initially proposed a delegation composition that included three bodyguards and one employee from the presidential office. However, following pressure from the Presidential Office, the ministry revised its decision. The new arrangement allows the president to have one bodyguard and three employees from his office accompanying him to the summit. This change reflects a compromise between the government and the presidential administration, which had previously requested a larger team of seven individuals, including members from foreign affairs, protocol, and communication departments.
Daniel Drake, spokesperson for the presidential press office, expressed appreciation for the partial compliance with the request from the Presidential Office, stating that the ministry adjusted the delegation structure for the NATO summit and granted the necessary government mandate. The adjustment also includes allowing the president to travel on the same aircraft as the government delegation, which he views as more efficient than having multiple planes for a single national delegation. However, the government has decided that the president will travel separately, using a dedicated government plane.
The role of the president within the delegation remains a point of contention. According to information shared by the government, the head of the Czech delegation at the summit will be Prime Minister Andrej Babiš, who will present the country's position based on the government-approved mandate. The president, however, was not given a specific mandate by the government, leading to some confusion about his role during the summit. In response, Foreign Minister Tomáš Petříček stated that the president would receive a mandate, but the exact nature of this document remains unclear.
The issue of the president's participation in non-official events, such as the informal dinner, also remains unresolved. According to reports, the prime minister is expected to attend the dinner with his wife, while the president has indicated he might not attend unless directly invited. This highlights the ongoing tension regarding the president's visibility and influence at the summit.
Prime Minister Babiš has been reluctant to engage in direct discussions with the president about the summit, citing previous legal actions taken by the president against the government. In a letter obtained by Czech Television, Babiš stated that there was no need for a meeting on the topic since the government had already fulfilled all requirements set by the Constitutional Court. However, the president could still raise the matter during a meeting of the National Security Council later in the week.
Despite these adjustments, the president continues to emphasize the importance of his presence and role at the summit. He has expressed concerns over the lack of a clear mandate and the limited scope of his involvement. Meanwhile, the government maintains that the current arrangements comply with the constitutional court's preliminary ruling, ensuring that the president is part of the delegation, even if not in a leadership capacity.
As the summit approaches, the final details of the president's participation remain under negotiation. The government has approved the use of a separate government plane for the president's travel to and from Ankara, distinguishing his movement from that of the rest of the delegation, which will travel together. While the government insists on maintaining the integrity of the delegation led by the prime minister, the president seeks greater clarity and involvement in the proceedings. These developments underscore the complex interplay between executive powers and governmental authority in shaping the Czech Republic's international engagements.

Czech Foreign Minister Lubomír Zaoranský emphasized the importance of Czech participation in the NATO summit in Ankara, advocating for a strong delegation to demonstrate Czech commitment to NATO. He described the debate over who leads the Czech delegation as an internal political issue, noting that informal discussions about it would occur during the two-day meeting in Istanbul ahead of the July 7–8 summit. Zaoranský stressed the need for European unity in defense spending to strengthen NATO’s European pillar and highlighted Ukraine’s role in defending Europe against Russian aggression. Prime Minister Andrej Babiš and Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies Tomáš Okamura confirmed the government’s mandate to meet the target of 2% GDP spending on defense this year, which the previous government failed to achieve. The dispute over the delegation leader involves President Miloš Zeman, who insists he should lead the delegation under protocol, while Foreign Minister Petr Kaźimír argues the prime minister should head it. The cabinet has been in disagreement with the presidential administration over Zeman’s request to attend the summit, citing his authority over defense funding.

The Czech government has decided not to send President Miloš Zeman to the July NATO summit in Ankara, opting instead to have Prime Minister Andrej Babiš lead the Czech delegation alongside Foreign Minister Petr Bělohlávek and Defense Minister Jaroslav Tvrdý. According to sources cited by Seznam Zprávy, President Zeman is considering filing a competence lawsuit if his participation is not approved, a possibility he mentioned as early as May. Radek Vondráček, chairman of the Chamber of Deputies' foreign affairs committee, views the government's decision as logical and reasonable, noting that Babiš wants to personally lead the dialogue in Ankara rather than through the president. In contrast, Jan Lipavský, a member of the same committee and former foreign minister, criticizes the move as 'coercive,' arguing that domestic foreign and security policy has become a casualty of the interests of the ANO and Motorists movement leaders. Zdeněk Hřib, leader of the Pirates, suggests that during the two-day summit, there was an opportunity for agreement but highlights this as an example of Babiš's weakness in managing the Motorists faction.
