Slovakia gets approval for disbursement of fourth recovery plan payment

Slovakia on Friday definitively received approval for the full payment of the fourth instalment from the recovery plan. This was announced by the head of the National Implementation and Coordination Authority's communication department Olga Dubravska. The European Commission also confirmed that the penal code amendment does not contradict the milestones of the recovery plan.

The value of the entire application was €923 million. After deducting the pre-financing Slovakia has already received, a payment of €799 million is expected in the next few days. This funding will make it possible to implement a number of reforms, such as improving the integration and financing of long-term social and health care, and reforming guidance and prevention in the area of mental health support for children and students.
