J. Baška, Minister of Defence of the Slovak Republic“I have participated already the second time in the conference GLOBSEC and if I may compare it, the quality of the conference is growing every year. It is a great opportunity for the meeting of experts to discuss the affairs of security and defence.

E. Kukan, member of Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of the Slovak Republic, former Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Slovak Republic“The GLOBSEC conference has already become a constitutive element of the most important meetings of influential international and Slovak representatives, discussing essential questions of international situation. The conference always provides interesting analytical and pragmatic inspiring ideas, which may help to find better orientation and searching for the solutions of complex questions of today’s world, emphasizing the necessity of general cooperation along with this process. Wide spectre of representatives from abroad and participation of Slovak partners is a guarantee of high-quality discussion. It is very encouraging to see the organizers of this event establishing a good and meritable tradition in a refined way.”
T. Frohling, Secretary General of the Atlantic Treaty Association“The annual international security conference GLOBSEC aims to explore today's challenges for the Transatlantic Community countries including NATO and EU member states. GLOBSEC through its short existence already has set the highest standards of a meeting place for leaders with a special responsibility for developing dialogue and cooperation inside and alongside the Euro-Atlantic institutions. GLOBSEC thus serves as a most needed forum for new thinking among governmental as well as non-governmental decision makers.”
M. Fedor, member of Committee on Defence and Security of the National Council of the Slovak Republic, former Minister of Defence of the Slovak Republic“The GLOBSEC conference is one of few conferences also allowing young people to access directly the centre of events of current international and security politics. Ability to attract prestigious speakers represents another added value of regular meetings of this project. The questions of crisis regions, security challenges as well as question of so called "soft" security together with searching for systemic and structural answers make of GLOBSEC the unique format that that is rewarding for all participants.”
