Daniel Futej Rudolf Sivák A new legislative proposal which restricts the acquisition of agricultural land in Slovakia by foreign persons was submitted to the Slovak Parliament. Even though it has not been approved yet (it is a governmental draft and the government has majority in Parliament), it does deserve attention. As of May 1 2014, a limitation on the acquisition of agricultural land by foreign natural persons from EU states no longer applies.

The new legislation will ensure that agricultural land is acquired for agricultural purposes and not as speculative purchases.
