The National Council of the Slovak Republic is set to resume its 61st parliamentary session this week, addressing over 200 agenda items. A primary focus is the strategic document ‘Vizia Slovensko 2040: Cesta ku kvalitnejšiemu životu’ (Vision Slovakia 2040: A Path to a Better Life), developed by the Slovak Academy of Sciences. Prime Minister Robert Fico and Academy President Martin Venhart are expected to present the material.

Other significant legislative matters include a proposal for a new Civil Code, amendments to pharmaceutical policy, and enhanced protections against new drugs. The Ministry of Education has proposed a law regarding an integrated protection system against radicalization, which includes regulating social media use for children under 16.

Additionally, the Ministry of Justice is presenting a constitutional amendment that would allow for the termination of a parliamentary term through a popular vote. The agenda also covers veterinary care legislation, environmental fund amendments, and adjustments to foreign service benefits.
