Survey on date of ‘Day for Slovaks Living Abroad’ open until end of September

The Office for Slovaks Living Abroad (USZZ) is running a public questionnaire on whether to change the date of the Day of Slovaks Living Abroad. The survey, open until September 30th, seeks opinions on moving the holiday from July 5th, which currently overlaps with Saints Cyril and Methodius Day and Hungary’s Slovak Day.

The overlap reportedly limits participation by state officials and Slovaks in Hungary. One suggested alternative is June 17th, the date the World Congress of Slovaks was founded, though respondents may propose other dates as well.
