The SVK MOD plans to present the village of Gajary with the light permanent bunkers, which are situated in its territory. For the Ministry of Defence it is a surplus property and will not be used anymore. The village of Gajary had showed its interest in turning the objects into an attraction for tourists. Government authorized the transfer of the property without pecuniary consideration.
“The bunkers belong to the history of our village and we have been interested in them for several years. However, there was never an opportunity to rent them in the long term or to obtain the ownership. Finally, our dream came true. In co-operation with the Military History Institute, we would like to position information boards near those bunkers, which are located near cycle routes,” informed the Mayor of Gajary, Peter Tydlitát, who is interested in increasing the visibility of such defence objects, which are built on the extravillan lands of the village. The village’s citizens want to take care of the bunkers and maintain them.
According to the SVK Minister of Defence Martin Glváč, the MOD’s interest is that the bunkers serve the citizens. “We will support all municipalities which would like to handle this type of redundant objects. The two Bratislava bunkers are a shining example of what can be done with such seemingly unused objects, if the zeal for history is present,” briefed the SVK Minister of Defence. The SVK Government also authorized the transfer of the light permanent bunkers near the village of Zohor without pecuniary consideration.
