The Ministry initially agreed to allow three members of the presidential security detail and one staff member from the presidential office, but Zeman argued that having three security personnel was unnecessary. He had previously requested a team of seven people, which he considered minimal. The Ministry ultimately decided to send four members of the delegation with the president. Zeman continues to insist that he should travel with the government delegation on the same plane, while the government maintains that the president should fly separately.

According to Minister of Foreign Affairs Tomáš Macina, the president will travel in his own government-issued aircraft, while the rest of the delegation, including Prime Minister Andrej Babiš, will fly separately. The decision follows a legal challenge by the president, who previously opposed his participation in the NATO summit. The president filed a competency complaint with the Constitutional Court, which is reviewing the matter after the summer holidays. The court issued a preliminary ruling requiring the president's accreditation for the delegation but did not specify his role. The summit, originally planned for 2027 in Tirana, remains under discussion.
