It allows for strengthening international relations and sharing experience with partners from other countries in the fields of defense, military-sport training, and work with military reserves. The signing of a cooperation agreement with the Italian organization UNUCI is a concrete step toward deepening cooperation, organizing joint projects, and strengthening public defense awareness. It also confirms that Slovakia is considered a respected partner in this area internationally. The conference further provided SZVvZ with an opportunity to present its own initiatives in the field of population resilience and military-sport activities, which is important for the development and promotion of the association both domestically and abroad.    <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8da2838 elementor-widget elementor-widget-gallery\" data-id=\"8da2838\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;columns&quot;:3,&quot;lazyload&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;gallery_layout&quot;:&quot;grid&quot;,&quot;columns_tablet&quot;:2,&quot;columns_mobile&quot;:1,&quot;gap&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;link_to&quot;:&quot;file&quot;,&quot;aspect_ratio&quot;:&quot;3:2&quot;,&quot;overlay_background&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;content_hover_animation&quot;:&quot;fade-in&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery__container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/www.szvvz.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gie-i-2025-05.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"8da2838\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Gaminger Initiative -
