Open Ownership Register

Slovakia Public Sector Partners Register (Register partnerov verejného sektora)

In 2017, the Act on the Register of Public Sector Partners (ARPSP) entered into force in Slovakia. It covers entities benefiting from public funding or conducting business with the state, so-called ‘Partners of Public Sector’. Data is collected by the Ministry of Justice of the Slovak Republic in the ‘Register partnerov verejného sektora’ (RPVS), which is free to use and public. This is the data which is available on the OpenOwnership register.
