Use of Czech Language to Be Allowed in Slovak State Offices



People will be able to use the Czech language in Slovak state offices,
according to an amendment to the State Language Act approved by the
Government on Wednesday.



The amendment also permits people to speak the Czech language on
television and radio broadcastings in Slovakia, and provides for live
broadcasts in foreign languages with simultaneous translation into
Slovak.
