The city of Košice will give most of its municipal employees May 8 as a paid day off, officials announced. Public transportation in Slovakia's second-largest city will operate on a reduced holiday schedule during the extended break. May 8 marks Europe Day in the European Union, commemorating the 1950 Schuman Declaration that led to the creation of the European Coal and Steel Community, a precursor to the EU. The decision affects municipal workers across various city departments, though specific details about which services will be reduced were not immediately provided.
