On March 20, the Pravda daily wrote that Labour Minister Viera Tomanová has scrapped a controversial cleaning tender. The ministry contends the tender did not violate the law, but did deny bidders the chance to react and register appropriately.

The tender was called off in order to eliminate any suspicions surrounding it, the ministry stated. SITA
