Brussels, 17 December 2024
Yesterday, the Commission has received the fifth payment request from Slovakia for €516.8 million in grants (net of pre-financing), under the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF).
Slovakia’s fifth payment request concerns 15 milestones and six targets.
It covers reforms that support decarbonisation of power generation, uptake of hydrogen technologies, public passenger transport, land planning, eGovernment, long term social and healthcare systems, desegregation of schools, and funding of universities. The request also covers important investments in areas such as training teachers for new content and form of teaching, supporting researchers, modernising of energy distribution systems and fighting against corruption.
The Commission will now assess the request and will then send its preliminary assessment of Slovakia’s fulfilment of the milestones and targets required for this payment to the Council’s Economic and Financial Committee.
Slovakia’s overall Recovery and Resilience Plan will be financed by €6.4 billion in grants.
More information on the Slovak plan is available online.
