Further to EmIS 052/2025 and 056/2025, the designated operator of Slovakia, Slovenská pošta, wishes to inform Union member countries and their designated operators that the situation regarding foot-and-mouth disease in Slovakia has improved significantly. In this regard, since the emergency situation declared by the Slovak government on 25 March 2025 in response to the outbreak, veterinary authorities have been monitoring the evolution of the disease, and no new major outbreaks have been confirmed. Most of the exceptional restrictions have now been lifted. However, the full restoration of postal and logistical services will only be possible once the emergency situation has been completely and officially terminated, which is not yet the case. The situation is nevertheless significantly better and already very close to normal. Slovenská pošta will continue to act in line with veterinary guidance and national health regulations, which means that some residual preventive and localized measures may still remain in place. Slovenská pošta thanks all Union member countries and their designated operators for their understanding and will provide further updates via EmIS.
