Slovak activist files procurement complaint over BBSK marketing contracts; region cites technical error

Jaroslav Rusina filed a complaint with Slovakia's Public Procurement Office (ÚVO) regarding marketing and consulting contracts awarded by the Banská Bystrica Self-Governing Region (BBSK). The regional office denies wrongdoing, attributing the issue to a technical error in the publication of the order. The complaint could trigger a review of procurement practices, but the immediate impact is limited to local governance.
