Slovak Government to Meet in Hronské Kľačany as Railway Modernization Faces EU Recovery Fund Delays

The Slovak government will hold its meeting today in Hronské Kľačany, a small municipality located four kilometers from Levice in central Slovakia. The village lies along the southern railway line, a section that underwent modernization using EU recovery funds but faced significant delays. According to a report from the Supreme Audit Office, Slovakia's financial watchdog, the railway modernization project was delayed by more than a year. The modernized line currently provides seven daily train connections between the village and the district center of Levice, highlighting ongoing infrastructure challenges in rural Slovakia despite EU funding aimed at improving transport connectivity.
