Progressive Slovakia Opposes Minister's Plan to Expand Priority Districts List

Progressive Slovakia has rejected a government proposal to expand the list of priority districts eligible for special development support. Marek Lackovič, a member of the National Council's Committee for Public Administration and Regional Development, warned that funding for existing priority districts is already inadequate. The opposition party argues that adding more districts to the program would further dilute the limited resources available for regional development initiatives. Priority districts in Slovakia are designated areas that receive additional state funding and investment incentives to address economic disadvantages and unemployment.
