Caputova proposes declaring Oct. 28 public holiday

Slovak President Zuzana Caputova on Monday proposed that Oct. 28 should be declared a public holiday. At a commemoration of the 101st anniversary of the founding of Czechoslovakia, the president laid wreaths at Tomas Garrigue Masaryk and Miroslav Rastislav Stefanik Squares in Bratislava. "This is worth considering, and it's a legitimate consideration," Caputova said. "Without this date, we would probably not have formed an independent state formation today, so it's one of the most important days to remember and perhaps commemorate in this way," she said.
