Billboards allowed to remain

The new Building Code, which the Transport Ministry sent for comments, caters to billboard companies and deprives municipalities of rights to regulate outdoor advertising, warn mayors of Bratislava's districts. They are also bothered by the lack of discussion on the proposal. Legislation approved by the previous parliament deprived all advertising structures of permits from May this year; the current parliament postponed the deadline to May 2027. The new law no longer restricts billboards in any way.
