Latest public opinion polls in the Czech Republic indicate Poland as the most trusted ally, marking a historic change in the regional hierarchy of influence. Simultaneously, the Czech government under Andrej Babiš is distancing itself from previous NATO defense priorities, causing concern for the US administration.

Polish-Czech relations are currently undergoing an unprecedented renaissance, as confirmed by the results of the latest polls conducted in the Czech Republic. For the first time in history, Poland has dominated trust rankings, surpassing traditional favorites of Czech society such as Slovakia or Western nations. Respondents point to Warsaw as a key guarantor of regional security and the most reliable partner within the Visegrad Group. Poland's high position is the result of a consistent policy of strengthening defense capabilities and a clear stance towards threats on NATO's eastern flank, which has gained recognition in the eyes of its southern neighbors. Despite record public sympathy for Poland, the official policy of the Czech government is becoming a source of tension in relations with the North Atlantic Alliance. Prime Minister Andrej Babiš has clearly declared that Ukraine is not currently a priority for his cabinet, and the Czech Republic does not plan to further increase defense spending to meet the target set by NATO. This stance prompted an immediate reaction from US diplomacy. The American envoy warned Prague about the creation of a gap in defense spending, which could affect the security level of the entire region. Experts point out that while the number of US soldiers in Western Europe may be reduced, Poland remains a key point for US presence on the continent. Poland and the Czech Republic, despite belonging to the Eastern Bloc after World War II, competed for decades for the title of modernization leader in Central Europe. A breakthrough came after 1989, when both countries jointly pursued membership in NATO and the European Union, laying the foundations for today's cooperation within the Visegrad Group. In the shadow of diplomatic disputes over military budgets, the Polish economy is attracting further strategic investments. A German industrial giant has announced plans to build new production plants in Poland, which are to become a hub supplying the entire Central and Eastern European region. Simultaneously, the domestic defense industry is preparing for a recruitment wave, driven by increased orders for army modernization. The regional dynamic is complemented by symbolic gestures, such as the visit of the French frigate 'Chevalier Paul' to the Port of Gdynia and President Karol Nawrocki's visit to Latvia.
