Public-service Radio and Television Slovakia (RTVS) will receive an extra €16 million from the state budget as partial compensation for the shortfall in income caused by social measures entailing licence-fee exemptions or reduced fees for certain groups of people. The Culture Ministry in its explanatory report pointed to the fact that the social measures have caused a shortfall in income for RTVS, amounting to over €128 million since the law on payment for services provided to the public by RTVS took effect as of January 1, 2013. Radio Slovakia International is part of the radio services of Radio and Television Slovakia.
