A new Satellite Operations Center has been opened in Warsaw, Poland. The facility is designed to provide satellite-related services that could potentially be utilized by Slovakia and other countries in the region in the future. The center represents part of Poland's expanding space capabilities and regional cooperation in satellite technology and operations.
A new environmental roundup highlights several pressing issues affecting Slovakia and the European Union. According to recent findings, people illegally kill one in every ten birds of prey across the EU, representing a significant threat to protected raptor species. Meanwhile, energy poverty continues to plague Slovak households even during summer months, indicating the persistent struggle many families face with rising utility costs. In infrastructure developments, the state-owned company Verejné prístavy (Public Ports) has abandoned plans to construct a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in Bratislava, marking a significant shift in Slovakia's energy infrastructure strategy. Additionally, environmental activists in Zvolenska Slatina are organizing winter cleanup efforts along the Slatina River, demonstrating local community engagement in environmental preservation efforts.
