Slovak Ministry Backs 'Right to Stay' Initiative for Regional Development

Slovakia's government is supporting a 'right to stay' initiative aimed at developing the country's regions, according to Minister Migaľ. The minister stated that the problem particularly affects eastern Slovakia, where economic opportunities and infrastructure lag behind other parts of the country. The initiative appears designed to address regional disparities that have led to population migration from less developed areas, particularly in Slovakia's eastern regions, to more prosperous parts of the country or abroad.
