Lithuania urged EU countries to create “military Schengen area”. According to the Ministry of defence of the country, it will help to rapidly transport troops throughout Europe.
As stated by the Minister of defense of Lithuania Raimundas Karoblis, “military Schengen” will cover facilitation and investment in infrastructure. This project is supported by many States, and its implementation is important both for Europe and for NATO.
The creation of a “military Schengen” was discussed at a meeting of defence Ministers of the EU countries, which was held in Tallinn. The meeting participants paid attention to the establishment of a permanent structured military cooperation (PESCO).
In turn, the European Commission proposes to establish a common defense Fund to Finance projects for the development of defence capacity. Until 2020 the EC plans to provide for the defense of around 500 million euros.
