The upcoming regional and municipal elections in the village of Varin in Zilina region will be merged with a local referendum on whether Dr. Jozef Tiso Street, named after the president of the Slovak wartime state during WWII, should be renamed, TASR has learnt from the village's website. A motion to hold the referendum was filed by ten members of the local council. Previously, Prosecutor-General Maros Zilinka filed a lawsuit over the name of the street with the Zilina Regional Court. Zilinka did so after the local council didn't heed his protest, in which he proposed renaming the street. (TASR)
