Share:

Slovak retail chains will operate under modified schedules on May 8, the Day of Victory Over Fascism, with stores remaining open but following different operating hours. The public holiday commemorates the end of World War II in Europe and the defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945. While the day is recognized as an official public holiday in Slovakia, retail establishments typically adjust their hours rather than closing entirely, allowing consumers to shop while acknowledging the historical significance of the date.
