This article is part of a 5-part series which covers the V4 governments’ plans to utilise the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) earmarked by the EU for reinvigorating the economies from the lengthy economic hardships imposed by the COVID-19 epidemic. Here, Slovakia leads the V4 with more of the funds initially allocated for green technologies but falls short of the potential to leapfrog other countries when it comes to alternative energy sources.
Slovakia’s recovery plan ranks highest among the V4 countries, with 30 per cent of the total funding of 6.16 billion euros assessed as green spending.
