Interior Ministry Plans to Begin Consultation on Lobbying Law in April

Slovakia's Interior Ministry expects to begin the public consultation process on a new lobbying law in April, aiming to introduce comprehensive regulation of lobbying activities into the country's legal framework. The proposed legislation would require lobbyists to register with authorities and establish a system for oversight and enforcement. The law would also include provisions for imposing sanctions on those who violate the new lobbying rules. Slovakia currently lacks specific legal regulation of lobbying activities, which the proposed law aims to address by creating a structured framework for transparency and accountability in interactions between lobbyists and public officials.
