Message from the Chairman of the PCTR Board
By joining NATO In 1999 the Czech Republic has gained the best security guarantees in its modern history. It does not mean that we are to idly sit with our hands folded in our laps and do nothing. Security cannot be taken for granted. The quality always depends on our will to do something for it and make sacrifices. This fact is applicable not only for us at home but also for cooperation with our allies. The world is not a safe place; security threats of today are less predictable and therefore potentially more dangerous.
