The Czech and Slovak Transatlantic Award (CSTA) is an award given to individuals who have substantially contributed to freedom and democracy in Central Europe, to strengthening of transatlantic relations and integration of Central Europe to Euro-Atlantic Institutions. It is awarded by the Jagello 2000 Association for Euro-Atlantic Cooperation from the Czech Republic and implemented jointly by Jagello 2000 and the Slovak Atlantic Commission since 2012. The Awards are presented two times a year: in spring in Slovakia at the GLOBSEC Bratislava Global Security Forum and in autumn at the NATO Days in Ostrava & Czech Air Force Days in Ostrava, Czech Republic.
