The Slovak government is overseeing the relocation of two Roma families from Košice to Hungary, with plans to evaluate the situation and issue a statement after visiting the families.

Local officials, including the mayor of Košice, deny claims of organized relocation, asserting that the families moved voluntarily and purchased properties independently.

Concerns have arisen in Hungary regarding the arrival of these families, leading to local councils considering regulations to protect community identity and prevent unwanted relocations.
