The first workshop with the Slovak counterparts was held on 5-6 May 2016, in Bratislava. The Slovak Republic recently adopted Sports Law and relevant by-laws governing the safe and secure organization of sport events. The Council of Europe consultants discussed effective implementation of the new laws as well as other standards developed by the Council of Europe. A detailed draft action plan has been prepared and sent to the counterparts for their comments and to receive their contributions and to define their responsibilities in implementing the action plan.
