Interior Minister Declares 'Experience It Yourself' Road Safety Campaign a Success

Slovak Interior Minister Matúš Šutaj Eštok has declared the government's 'Experience It Yourself' (Zaži to na vlastnej koži) public awareness campaign a success and announced it will continue in the autumn. The campaign, run by the Interior Ministry, which oversees road safety and policing in Slovakia, was designed to bring attention to traffic safety issues by putting citizens and officials in real-life road danger scenarios. Šutaj Eštok, a member of Hlas-SD — one of the parties in Slovakia's current ruling coalition led by Prime Minister Robert Fico — expressed satisfaction with the campaign's reach and impact. The continuation of the initiative in the autumn suggests the government intends to sustain its focus on road safety as a public policy priority.
