Slovak Parliament debates proposed reduction of Košice city districts

The National Council, Slovakia's parliament, concluded Thursday's session with a debate on proposed legislation to reduce the number of municipal districts in Košice, the country's second-largest city. Opposition lawmakers dominated the discussion, criticizing significant changes that were introduced to the bill during its second reading. The proposed amendment to the Košice city law would decrease the current number of city districts, though the debate focused primarily on procedural concerns about how the legislation was being modified during the parliamentary process.
