Over 40 bn euros to be available to Slovakia from EU

Slovakia will receive 34.1 billion euros from the European Union (EU) in the upcoming years, said Prime Minister Igor Matovic upon returning from the EU summit in Brussels on Tuesday, adding that a total of 40 billion euros should be available to the country along with a soft loan from the EU's recovery fund. Slovakia should thus be able to spend a record sum on projects worth over 6 billion euros per year on average.
