Slovakia: Devolution?

Published by:

Jozef Červeňák , the candidate of the Roma Initiative of Slovakia (RIS) to the post of Chairman of the Košice Self-Governing Region (KSK) wants a significant improvement in the state of roads in the region, in the stability and development of small municipalities as well as a dual two-year education of children from socially weak families geared towards the automotive industry. The self-governing region should, according to him, be more keen to revive tourism. The shift in the solution of the Roma issue is seen in the transfer of competences from the central government to the region.

In recent days, a rumour circulated in Sabinov, a small town north of Kosiče in Eastern Slovakia, about the planned construction of residential homes for up to 2’000 Roma from the by now famous Roma settlement of Lunik IX in Kosiče. This was presented in the town’s website.
Protests immediately occurred … A petition is ongoing to stop the construction.
