The NGO also delivered a criminal complaint to the Bratislava District Prosecutor’s Office about Jozef Vojtek, an employee of the Environment Ministry, who permitted logging in the locality of the Tichá Dolina and Kôprová Dolina valleys with the highest degree of protection since, according to the association, the public official violated the law when exercising his authority.
