Central bank's 37-storey dream-building arouses anger

While Slovakia struggles through a deepening economic crisis, and while the cabinet wrestles with austerity measures, the National Bank of Slovakia (NBS) is erecting an expensive new headquarters in Bratislava that will eventually be the nation's tallest building.As the projected July 2000 completion date approaches, the project has drawn increasingly harsh criticism from government officials who are being forced to pinch pennies in their own departments. On the other side of the fence stand bank officers and Bratislava city hall, who defend the building as a necessity for the NBS, a help to the city and ultimately a money-saver.

No extra funds for drug war

In the months before the end of President Michal Kováč's term last year, a strange sight appeared directly across the street from the Presidential Palace in downtown Bratislava. In a clear slight to the President, the Donar ad agency mounted a giant digital countdown clock which ceremoniously ticked off the days until the end of the Kováč's term.At the time, no one seemed to know how such a partisan slap in the face could have been erected in a city zone where all constructions require a Presidential office-issued permit.But according to Ľubomír Okruhlica, the director of the Center for Drug Addiction Treatment and the government's main expert on drug addiction, the Donar agency probably used a permit and money it had secured to run an anti-drug campaign to erect the clock.
