On 18 May, SVK Minister of Defence Martin Glváč and the mayor of Bratislava Ivo Nesrovnal were united in agreement over the need for Bratislava and the Slavín Memorial to house a WWII museum. They discussed the intent to build a new museum within the hitherto unused premises of the Slavín Memorial, administered by the Municipal Authority of Bratislava.
Minister Glváč and the city mayor agreed to set up teams of specialists. “The specialists will prepare all the construction, technical and economic documentation. We are ready to contribute both financially and in the form of exhibits. I think the museum will increase the public’s interest in the memorial,” said the SVK Minister of Defence. “We are able to provide the museum with photos and texts, arranging them around the main theme,” added Col Miloslav Čaplovič, Director of the Institute of Military History.
On 21 May, the first meeting of the working group tasked with building the museum took place inside the Slavín Memorial’s underground premises. Besides representatives from the SVK MOD, the Institute of Military History and the Municipal Authority of Bratislava, the meeting was attended by officials from the Regional Office for Preservation of Monuments in Bratislava and the Bratislava City Museum. The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, 3 June.
