Data is collected by the Ministry of Justice of the Slovak Republic in the ‘Register partnerov verejného sektora’ (RPVS), and covers entities benefiting from public funding or conducting business with the state, so-called ‘Partners of Public Sector’. The RPVS is an official register that lists individuals and organizations that receive money or other assets from the state, local governments, or other public sector bodies — above a certain legal threshold. Participation in the RPVS is mandatory for those who meet the legal criteria, but voluntary for others who wish to disclose their ties to the public sector.
