Czech Republic marks 20 years as NATO member, assesses new threats

Twenty years ago this Tuesday, the Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary
became the first former Eastern Bloc countries to join NATO, with Slovakia
entering five years later, when all four joined the EU. The anniversary
will be marked with pomp and circumstance, honours for those who made the
ultimate sacrifice, and debate over how to face new threats to collective
security.
