The opposition KDH and Progressive Slovakia are demanding that Interior Minister Matúš Šutaj Eštok explain the purchase and installation of new traffic camera systems on Slovak roads. The issue concerns suspicions about the origin of technologies intended for use by the state's security forces. teraz.sk ↗
PS wants to initiate the convening of the National Council of the Slovak Republic's Committee for Defense and Security. MP Jaroslav Spišiak stated that the interior minister should come before the committee and explain the suspicions. The movement pointed out that, according to its information, the traffic cameras may be of Russian manufacture. KDH likewise emphasized that the origin of technologies used by security forces must also be assessed. kultura.pravda.sk ↗
According to published information, the new devices are said to be arriving in Slovakia via a Cypriot company with no clear history, with the only identified trace leading to Russia. The traffic radar project was supposed to be part of a modernization effort, under which Slovakia was to be covered by the end of June with a network of devices connected to a central system capable of processing offenses and sending fines to drivers. dennikn.sk ↗
The Interior Ministry rejects the criticism and denies any Russian connection to the camera systems. The ministry claims it knows the manufacturer of the technologies. Further developments will depend on whether a meeting of the defense and security committee is convened and what documents the ministry submits to the opposition. aktuality.sk ↗
