Most-Hid wants to 'correct' State Symbol Act before it enters into force

Head of Most-Hid Bela Bugar on Friday said President Andrej Kiska had promised him that he would veto the State Symbol Act that prohibits playing and the singing of national anthems of foreign countries at public events if no official delegation of the given country is present at the event. Bugar added that the legislation should be "corrected" at the beginning of the parliamentary session to begin in May. The act was proposed by the Slovak National Party (SNS), whose aim was to bolster the protection to state symbols.
