    Budget of the Capital City Bratislava for 2026, historically the lowest debt and more money for security, road and pavement repairs and public transport

    Bratislava, 6 November 2025 – City council members approved the capital city’s budget proposal for 2026 at today’s council meeting. Despite the enduring difficult situation and the impact of consolidation, next year’s budget for Bratislava counts on having the lowest debt level in the modern history of the city. The city’s leaders also adopted and presented to the council a package of measures to reduce debt even faster. The city managed to achieve this positive development in its financial condition despite the fact that it plans to increase investments in several areas, including security, public transport, road and pavement repairs, facilities for seniors and the building of parking infrastructure, so that it maintains a high standard of provision of quality public services for residents.

    Better and cheaper lighting in Bratislava

    Bratislava, 2 October 2025 – The capital city continues its comprehensive modernisation and reconstruction of public lighting. The largest replacement of public lighting is currently being carried out in these months in the city districts of Karlova Ves, Petržalka, Rača, Dúbravka and Lamač. The new LED lights mean a significant lowering of the failure rate, as well as a major reduction in electricity costs by more than 40%. Translated into numbers – only counting the lights that have already been replaced in Bratislava or will be replaced this year, the savings can exceed 1 million euros.

    Additional investments in the development of cycling in Bratislava

    Bratislava, 1 October 2025 – The Mayor of the capital city and the Minister of Transport today jointly announced additional investments in the development of cycling infrastructure in the capital city. Thanks to financing from the Recovery and Resilience Plan, over 9 km of cycling paths have already been added in Bratislava. The Minister of Transport has now signed contracts totalling approximately EUR 1 million for the refinancing of four more cycling projects which were designed and will be built by the capital city. Thanks to this, more than 6 km of new cycling infrastructure will be added to Bratislava and will fit into the comprehensive urban cycle network and connect to existing, frequented cycling paths in the city. This means that the movement of cyclists through Bratislava will once again be made more comfortable and, above all, safer.
