Airport representative appeals voting for Košice

CEO and chair of the Košice airport board, Michael Tmej, asked not just people from the Košice Region for support, but from all over Slovakia. He argued that Slovaks living in Germany can come home more often and more quickly, and that it would help the region attract more German tourists, thus aiding the development of the more than 60 German investors in eastern Slovakia, as reported by TASR.
