Slovakia is pushing ahead with its motorway construction program at breakneck speed. The main priority is to complete the link between the two biggest cities - Bratislava in the west and Kosice in the east - as soon as possible. The government pushed through a legislative amendment to make it easier to expropriate land "in the national interest". In fact the authorities can now begin construction before even assuming control of the property concerned. Facts on the ground created by bulldozers are not to easy to reverse.
