Last update: 12 hours agoRiver restoration: Slovakia will restore nearly 210 km of rivers and improve fish migration with almost €14 million in EU-backed upgrades, including fish passes on the Cirocha, Žitava, Turiec, Hron, Revúca and Poprad rivers and weirs near the Nitra reservoir—aimed at better flood protection and water quality.
