(Reuters) - NATO member states' representatives meeting on Wednesday will likely discus a request to strengthen air defences on the alliance's eastern wing, Slovak Prime Minister Eduard Heger said.

"It is natural that there will likely be a request on the table to strengthen the airspace of countries on the border," he said.
