Parliament is slated to deliberate on this at an emergency session, with Vice-premier Robert Kalinak (Smer-SD) adding that the first drafts will be discussed by the State Security Council next week.

Bratislava, May 22 (TASR) - A bill aimed at bolstering the protection of constitutional officials and the state will be submitted in the near future, Interior Minister Matus Sutaj Estok (Voice-SD) announced after a session of the State Security Council on Wednesday.

Parliament is slated to deliberate on this at an emergency session, with Vice-premier Robert Kalinak (Smer-SD) adding that the first drafts will be discussed by the State Security Council next week.

"The bill will contain a package of legislative and technical measures," claimed Sutaj Estok, adding that the priority is to guarantee the safety and security of the Slovak people.

A working group headed by the Government Office will collect proposals from individual ministries, with Sutaj Estok adding that the databases of all security forces will be linked together again. "This was cancelled under the previous government for some inexplicable reason," he stated.
