A Network of Centres for Refugees and Foreigners – Safe Point – has been established in seven Slovak towns and cities
Bratislava, 24 June 2025 – The Union of Slovak Towns and Cities (ÚMS) today officially announced the establishment of the Network of Centres for Refugees and Foreigners – Safe Point – in seven Slovak towns and cities. The existing centres are places of support and integration for refugees and people with foreign origin in Slovakia. The main objective of the newly established “Safe Point” Centres Network is to help these centres strengthen mutual cooperation, raise standards and coordinate more effectively. At the same time, the ÚMS draws attention to the necessity to continue with sustainable state funding of the support centres, otherwise they risk not being able to pursue their mission and help those in need.
