on the evening of Sunday 4th June Luke Savill won the Boys’ Singles title at the 2017 Slovak Junior Open in Senec to collect the first ITTF World Junior Circuit title of his career the win was somewhat unexpected; the 18 year old commenced proceedings as the no.6 seed 11-8) but it was two rounds earlier at the quarter-final stage that he recorded what was to prove his most crucial win the top seed and like Kay Stumper from Germany in a full distance seven games contest (9-11 Success against the odds at the quarter-final stage it was the same in the penultimate round; he accounted for Hungary’s Csaba Andras Kay Stumper ended the hopes of the host nation; in the quarter-final round he beat Markus Tonkovic Tibor Spanik had beaten England’s Tom Jarvis A surprise exit for Tom Jarvis; earlier in the day there had been a surprise departure for Hungary’s Istvan Molnar he was beaten by Argentina’s Matias de Vincenzo in the opening round (3-11 there was no further progress; he was beaten in the nest round by Markus Tonkovic (11-5 Disappointment for Istvan Molnar in the Boys’ Singles event but in the Boys’ Doubles competition there was success accounted for Argentina’s Martin Bentancor and Santiago Lorenzo Patrick Juhasz and Isvtan Molnar had beaten the Slovak Republic’s Markus Tonkovic and Jakub Zelinka 11-7); Martin Bentancor and Santiago Lorenzo had caused a major upset by overcoming Csaba Andras and Oliver Both the no.4 seeds and like Patrick Juhasz and Isvtan Molnar Not everyone has the luxury of being energised by their work, but SENEC CEO Aurélie Alemany does knowing that what she does makes a difference As one of the world’s most popular brands for innovative energy and storage solutions a wholly owned subsidiary of EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg – one of the largest energy supply companies in Germany and Europe – is meeting the larger trends in the world reducing CO2 emissions for a better future every decision I make every day impacts the future,” Aurélie tells The CEO Magazine And it’s one of the main reasons I’m at SENEC now SENEC naturally attracts talent that wants to do more than make money; like Aurélie you know you’re investing your time for the greater good and having fun at the same time.” and it’s amazing to work in an environment like this SENEC continued onboarding new team members hiring upwards of 100 people in 2021 alone “The reason we’re so attractive is because we’re flexible Much credit is due to Aurélie for fostering this culture; one that thrives despite the challenges of the pandemic She recognises the importance of true leadership something she says is very different from managing alone “Leading people in this new world requires empathy You have to be aware of the psychological and emotional status of your team,” she stresses “You have to be aware of each individual and be a real leader It’s unclear how she became so attuned to the needs of others but it might have a lot to do with knowing herself so well I am a French girl in Germany,” she smiles and after my studies I decided to go abroad Aurélie has been working in the energy industry since 2011 also a subsidiary of EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg she was instrumental in driving forward the dovetailing of sales brands EnBW and vigorously continues on this path as CEO of SENEC She’s made it her mission to expand SENEC’s position as a leading provider of self-sufficiency solutions while strengthening its cooperation with other EnBW companies together realising the vision of a networked quality service and huge number of resellers and retailers Aurélie is confident the company will be able to achieve its ambitious targets you have to make decisions; a day without a decision is a bad day And no decision is always the wrong decision And because we have a high-quality service which is one of the most important differentiation factors in Germany retailers and resellers – which we consider our best friends – there’s no doubt that we’ll be successful,” she says SENEC is a company that’s doubling in size every year it relies heavily on these strong partnerships “We need strategic partners that are big enough otherwise our relationship won’t work,” Aurélie points out “Having the right partners ensures that we can grow and grow quickly Aurélie believes these types of partnerships are symbiotic where each becomes better simply by working together “We teach our strategic partners to solve problems in a disruptive way and we also teach them how to make decisions very quickly,” she says “It’s my belief that to be an entrepreneur we can also learn from their operative experience The CEO Magazine is more than a business title;

market did not grow as much as some experts had forecast at the beginning of the year: We sold about 5,100 storage units where we had started delivery during the fourth quarter Maximilian von Grundherr: We employ 110 staff dedicated to helping us realise our vision Thomas Pilgram: We sell our Senec storage units via three wholesalers and almost 550 specialist retailers At the end of 2016 we had only 320 retailers The market in Austria is being developed through the retailers of that country Maximilian von Grundherr: Switzerland is a tri-lingual country it would make sense to also include Switzerland Thomas Pilgram: With 100 units sold in the last quarter of 2017 But it is also about sticking as many pins into as many countries as possible on our map of the world It takes certain sales figures to justify the effort Thomas Pilgram: Our small crew in Perth has been active for about a year but the effort in getting our units certified was just very great in January 2018 we were at last able to dispatch the first containers we are in cooperation with a large local partner that takes care of the customer service and first-level support for us Thomas Pilgram: Between 600 and 1,000 – we are very optimistic in our expectations We have cleared the worst hurdles of the certification process our all-round energy solution consisting of storage battery and cloud also gives us an edge we will continue to supply this market from Germany Here we have developed very flexible manufacturing procedures and have qualified our suppliers The power electronics are being built to our very own specifications Maximilian von Grundherr: Our goal has always been to develop our own battery modules and have them built But that does not mean that we are going to cut corners when it comes to the quality and safety of our storage systems we managed to bring our error rate down to 1.5 percent we want to further improve the speed and quality of our customer service It is the key support for our specialist partners and the retailers What those value most with us is that work with them as equals and take their needs and criticism seriously 70 percent of our units are sold in combination with a cloud solution Our Cloud also allows the use of the electricity for heat pumps or to produce hot water which perfectly meets our customers’ most important purchasing motive: independence from the utilities which allows them to practically use their solar electricity for charging their EVS anywhere in Europe That makes cloud solutions into a sort of extension cord for their solar installation: They can use their solar power when and where ever they want for instance with children that have left the home to go to university and now live somewhere else in their student pad Thomas Pilgram: The top capacity for our lithium units is currently at 30 kilowatt hours 30 kilowatt hours work really well in the segment of small businesses We provide a special cloud solution to our installing company partners with which they can address their commercial customers That is an individualised version of our Power Cloud which for instance allows the direct marketing of solar power Because we want out partners and customers to cover as much of their roofs as possible with PV Our recommendation: Put up there what will fit Thomas Pilgram: When it comes to commercial storage With the price for lithium cells coming down in order to quickly adapt them to changing demands High output is needed and an appropriate management system and that does not only affect the hardware There are different marketing cascades that one has to go through to sell the units the price pressure is much higher in the commercial segment I see our 30-kilowatt unit more as being suitable for larger residential buildings or in Australia Because of the increased use of air conditioning and the extreme discrepancy in the prices between cheap off-peak and very expensive during the heat of the day there is a greater demand for storage there since it allows the storing of electricity during the off-peak in the night which can then be used for cooling during the heat of the day the efficiency of the batteries can go up quite significantly In the other markets we intend to grow along with the market or at least keep pace Maximilian von Grundherr: Growing sustainably is important to us we have strengthened our equity base in order to be ready for 2018 This is not about selling as many storage units as possible We want to further lower our error rate and continue to improve our service And very important: We want to go on improving the cooperation with our installing company partners The Austrian market is very close to our domestic market – in terms of language the electricity market there allows us to offer great services The UK or Czechia could also become interesting These markets all have their own challenges because each of them is different technologically and in terms of the dominant business model Thomas Pilgram: Our partners among the installing companies are our major sales channel it is not all about the most inexpensive equipment our partner companies are distributed fairly evenly apart from just a few spots of the map that are not covered but do not intend to increase the number of companies much further It is more about that our partners understand our overall mission and implement that together with us we started a deal at the end of last year: If the installing company or their customer decides to switch to a BMW i3 then we cover the lease payments for the first year That is very popular – and an important incentive to buy for the customers The interview was conducted by Heiko Schwarzburger Read more about solar

Germany The background to the remote shutdown is three reports of explosions in houses in which Senec products were installed After the firefighters brought the battery outside the building From pv magazine Germany German battery provider Senec announced this week its residential storage systems were automatically switched to a regulated stand-by mode The remote shutdown relates to three products from the company: the Senec.Home V3 hybrid; Senec.Home V3 hybrid duo; and Senec.Home V2.1 The manufacturer describes the move as a “purely precautionary measure,” in a notice to the system operators published on its Facebook page “This is a voluntary and preventive measure There are no indications that there are any technical problems with our systems,” said Senec The background to the remote shutdown is three reports of explosions in houses in which Senec storage systems were installed in Germany's southern region of Baden-Württemberg reported an explosion in an apartment building last week a house covered in smoke and a roof window that had been torn out were explored,” says the report from the fire brigade A heavily smoky boiler room was discovered in the basement the battery storage installed in the basement detonated due to a technical defect and subsequently caused a smoldering fire in the basement The pressure wave pushed several windows and doors outwards and the entire roof structure was lifted,” the fire department said A technician from local utility EnBW switched the building off a master electrician pulled the fuses and then the battery was dismantled “The battery was carried out of the basement by five people wearing breathing apparatus and it ignited again in the open air There it was extinguished and later placed in a vat of water to cool down The house is currently no longer habitable,” the Bodnegg fire department continued Since there were no people in the building and no one was injured in the other incidents either “Since the issue of safety is our top priority decided to take this clear step,” the Leipzig-based company stated “The cause of the events has not yet been conclusively determined There are no indications that the battery was the cause of the explosion Even external experts who were immediately involved do not assume that the storage devices led to the explosions,” Senec writes to its customers “We assume that we will maintain the standby mode for a few days,” the company went on to say Remote shutdown is not possible for storage devices that are not connected to the internet operators should contact their specialist partner or the Senec hotline the photovoltaic inverter is still active and direct consumption and the feeding of solar power is therefore possible “The only thing that does not happen in the stand-by mode is that battery power is not stored and drawn as it is galvanically isolated from the power flow,” the company said in its letter to customers Senec promises specific information on restarting as soon as there is more clarity about the facts that led to the deflagration Senec was initially unable to obtain further information on the specific number of storage systems that had been shut down and the locations of other incidents An inquiry from pv magazine has remained unanswered Li batteries are a dangerous alternative for storage and automobiles hydrogen and batteries are all hazardous in different ways and all need to be managed accordingly it will be interesting to hear what the root cause was Western Australia’s regional power provider has commenced the second stage of its Onslow microgrid project which will provide local residents and businesses with access to low-cost solar and energy storage systems German storage provider Senec has been chosen to supply batteries to the project The project infrastructure includes a new transmission line and a gas-fired modular power station The coastal town of Onslow is in the box seat to become the home of one of Australia’s largest distributed energy resource microgrid which targets providing more than 50% of the town’s electricity The project is being delivered by Western Australia’s government-owned regional utility Horizon Power and is aiming to integrate traditional thermal generation with solar panel and battery storage systems to maximise renewable energy penetration the McGowan Government launched Stage Two of the Onslow project which will deliver solar and battery storage systems to locals at reduced rates Horizon Power has signed a contract with Western Australian company Mechanical Project Services (MPS) to deliver and install the solar and battery storage systems to Onslo customers the systems will be integrated with Horizon Power’s Distributed Energy Resources Management System the software platform designed to orchestrate the various energy sources in a coordinated manner ensuring renewables are maximised while protecting the systems’ stability Horizon Power General Manager Commercial Services and Finance Sami Zouad said the opportunity to access solar and battery systems at a reduced rate would provide Onslo customers with the ability to reduce their own electricity costs while allowing Horizon Power to demonstrate a high-renewables energy future is helping Horizon Power to prepare for this future,” Zouad said “The project delivers on our commitment to the Onslow community and the state to enable a significant expansion of renewable energy onto our networks which can be managed for the benefit of customers and Horizon Power.” Stage Two of the project also includes the construction of a centralized 1 MW solar farm and 1 MWh network battery This follows the completion of Stage One of the project in July 2018 which involved the construction and commissioning of a gas-fired power station and associated infrastructure The Onslow project was initiated in 2016 by Horizon Power Chevron Australia and Western Australia’s State Government with the goal to deploy a mix of distributed renewables modular gas powered generation and battery storage aimed at achieving a high level of renewable energy across the town Chevron’s massive Wheatstone LNG project has provided a financial contribution for Horizon Power to build the power infrastructure for both stages Horizon Power has selected Germany’s Senec to equip the project with smart battery storage systems for the optimal use of solar power and local network support As part of the project that seeks to demonstrate that Onslow can sustainably and reliably be supplied with clean electricity in conjunction with larger traditional and utility scale renewable generation plants as well as the intelligent control of the microgrid Senec’s energy storage systems will be offered at generous discounts The storage provider said the ability to integrate its batteries with Horizon Power’s DERMS played an important role in Senec’s selection The commitment to local engineering and technical support was an important criterion for Horizon Power in selecting the partner “Each of Senec’s batteries will be integrated with Horizon Power’s DERMS the centralized control system that will “orchestrate” DER at times when intelligent control is required to maintain reliability of the microgrid,” the storage provider said in statement Managing Director of Senec Australia said customer-side solar power and storage was a perfect solution for communities like Onslow a sunny coastal town in the sparsely populated Pilbara region “We are delighted we can help to ensure people have a reliable and sustainable power supply there” we are demonstrating our know-how and commitment to the Australian market.” Only weeks before Senec’s first shipment of residential batteries arrived in Australia last year, the battery provider was acquired by Energie Baden-Württemberg (EnBW) modified slightly from the ones sold in Germany are available with a capacity ranging from 2.5 kWh to 10 kWh More articles from Marija Maisch Every week we introduce you to one of the movers and shakers of some of the leading companies in the solar and renewables industries: Last week you got to meet Fabrizio Limani of Panasonic Now it is the turn of Stefan Dietrich of Senec to answer our six questions: I guess dinner with a great thinker like John Stuart Mill might be interesting I would eradicate the hatred and sheer stupidity that brings us nationalism We could then concentrate on important things That our solutions empower people by giving them the means to produce and use their own energy in a sustainable and climate-friendly way home owners at least don't have to wait for politicians to do something Nearly two-thirds of all solar storage systems sold in Germany come from these four suppliers about 16,800 photovoltaic storage systems were sold in the country in the first half of the year Falling prices and an attractive rooftop market are driving demand upwards Demand for residential PV is growing in Germany and with it also the installation of storage systems According to market analysis conducted by EuPD Research a total of 16,800 storage systems were deployed in the first half of this year in the country Sonnen continues to be the leading provider of PV home storage systems in Germany with a 23% market share an increase of 1% compared to full year 2016 E3 / DC and LG Chem with a market share of 14% each Around two thirds of the storage systems sold in Germany in the first six months of 2017 came from these suppliers The increase in sales was attributable to the substantial growth in small rooftop PV systems ranging in size from 3 kW to 10 kW 22,200 installations were installed in the first half-year (up 28% y-on-y) prices for PV home storage have fallen further The decrease of the KfW storage subsidy as of June 1 also had a “sales-promoting effect” the analysts raised their expectations for the development of the German PV storage market for the current year EuPD Research now expects 33,500 newly installed systems for this year further sales for storage in Europe are showing a positive development which is mostly flanked by public funding programs,” says Martin Ammon the 16,800 newly installed PV home storage systems represent 75% of the total volume in Europe “We are very pleased with this result and that we can further extend our lead to the direct competitors,” says Philipp Schröder Solarwatt is ranked fifth among the largest storage providers in Germany with a market share of 7% Varta and Mercedes have a percentage of 5% each The top 10 are rounded out by LG Electronics News | Nov 7 Interventionist Laura Hester and her team of creative students created a 7 by 4 foot I SPY display full of trinkets pictures and recycled

the D1 Outlet City project has changed the original function of the buildings Also the name will change to D1 Expo Business Centre the Hospodárske Noviny daily reported “The object will not be used for sales to end consumers but it will serve as a wholesale and promotion centre for companies,” said Ivan Čarnogurský The company has already introduced the investor of the project Chinese industrial group Jiangsu Weitian Chemical Group which has put €10 million into the new business centre The D1 Expo Business Centre should open in late June The new business centre currently occupies 10,000 square metres but the plan is to expand the area to 100,000 square metres in the future Čarnogurský says they have already signed agreement with 30 firms Among the first tenants will be wholesalers with construction technologies Most of them will use the nearby warehouses “We are preparing 80 administrative units for our partners in D1 Expo Business Centre,” Čarnogurský said adding that they can establish here their central European or European administrative headquarters The new strategy is based on the fact that Chinese companies that enter the European market do not want to rely only on distributors rent new spaces and deal with distribution “They want to do business under their own name,” Ján Janek of Eusahub company Jiangsu Weitian Chemical Group chose Senec mostly due to Slovakia’s membership in the European Union and the eurozone as well as its connection to crucial western and central European markets “The D1 Expo Business Centre is interesting for its effort to bring non-European companies under one roof where they can share their experiences and knowledge from the European market,” said Lin Shengqin CEO and co-owner of Jiangsu Weitian Chemical Group She added that the D1 Park has possibilities for further growth The developer originally introduced the project under the name D1 Outlet City seven years ago Since then it has changed the date of opening several times and even lost its fight with another outlet centre near Voderady (close to Trnava) which opened in 2013 It has also faced financial problems and struggled to attract some tenants Thus analysts perceive the change from outlet centre to administrative and logistics base for Asian investors as logical It is possible that another outlet close to Bratislava would not be successful as also the outlet centre in Voderady has problems with visitors Company D1 Expo-Business Centrum announced recently the construction of the D1 Business Park in Senec which has been developing its activities on the market under the IPEC Group brand announced recently the construction of the D1 Business Park in Senec The park will offer smaller-sized units to companies because there is a huge lack of this type of commercial unit on the market The flexible space can be easily adapted to the company’s needs an issuing place or a place they can carry out all of their operations at once multifunction zone connects industry and logistics with office space and other services for employees Shared office already has their first users Event space and gastronomy establishment will be available soon stores and issuing places can be used by tenants as of next year A Slovak developer has invested tens of millions of euros into the project and will gradually build three modern buildings with a total area of 28,000 m2 in the D1 Business park The park should be available to tenants next summer completing the offer of properties in the zone where logistic and commercial companies like Scania The construction of the D1 Business Park in the new business zone is a response to the growing demand for modern The trend of so-called universal commercial units is mainly available in western Europe where similar centres are being established on the outskirts of large cities They represent an alternative for companies that house their operations sales and storage of products under one roof “We have long-term experience mainly in industrial development we would like to complete the original zone with a new type of business space which is typical for its access from two sides and a larger portion of glass areas This creates a nice environment suitable for shops But there is also a number of smaller companies and enterprises from the machine industry interested in this space a part of the building can become a store with a clearance of eight meters," said Pavel Klč Head of Real Estate Development of the IPEC Group Companies can rent out 250 m2 to 8,000 m2 in space and adapt it to their commercial model The developer expects that the customers of such companies will have the opportunity to shop here choose products in the showrooms or pick them up after shopping in the e-shop The existing D1 Center building in the new business zone offers additional services including short-term rent of conference rooms and the D1 Shared Office The D1 Center is also considering widening its scope of services in commercial and retail operation - from gastronomy and fitness centres to printing and administrative services It also offers offices with technical rooms or small store rooms measuring 120 m2 and up These rooms will be available for the companies from the new business zone but also from its surroundings Due to its location and range of services, the D1 Center, has the potential to become a multifunction center of the wider surroundings which includes not only the D1 Business Park but also adjacent logistic halls IPEC Group ranks among the major providers of project management in the field of construction in Slovakia the group has covered projects with a total usable area of 800,000 m2 and value in excess of €500 million One of the biggest logistics zones in Slovakia and an employer of more than five thousand people the D1 Park near Senec was established thanks to IPEC Group Among IPEC Group’s seventy clients from five

Representatives of the region have been to see how the works are progressing They checked both the interior and exterior of the national cultural monument which is being transformed into a new multifunctional culture centre which should be in operation from the end of 2020 “Last year we spent about €200,000 and then another €900,000 on the reconstruction,” said Pavol Líška from the region The overall cost of the reconstruction project together with the terrain modification will cost almost €1.6 million The work is continuing as planned – the front façade is repaired together with the stained-glass windows Now the reconstruction will continue with the ceiling changing the wooden roof frame and removing the inner pavement The new building information-pavilion is also under construction Currently they are starting the earthworks and a fence has been built around the whole building The original non-functioning well was discovered during the construction and the mikveh between the synagogue and the new pavilion has been unearthed was found to be hiding the remains of the original foundations of the bema a sort of pulpit from which the Torah was read The findings were documented by the Regional Monuments Board “Part of the synagogue will be given over to an exhibition of the history of Jewish culture in the Bratislava region,” said Agáta Mikulová head of the

Railway Company (ZSSK) is currently short of engine drivers The lack of drivers was amplified by the holiday season and deepened by the pandemic The expert training of new engine drivers have been suspended for a long time said spokesperson Tomáš Kováč adding that the transport company is dealing with the situation Some trains were temporarily cancelled especially for the Senec – Bratislava-Petržalka Nové Zámky – Bratislava Malacky – Bratislava and Bratislava – Trnava routes Kováč noted that ZSSK keenly feels the lack of engine drivers conductors and servicemen in the long term 90 candidates training to become engine drivers could not finish the course,” the spokesperson said “About the same number of the engine drivers have to be replaced every year because of retirement or another reason.” ZSSK lacks about 100 to 135 engine drivers ZSSK's position on the railway labour market is influenced by the concentration of private railway carriers who often offer work to young train drivers as soon as they leave the course They usually choose to work for the carrier in the Czech Republic It takes about 15 to 18 months to train them They need a medical check to get permission to lead trains and must learn the obligatory knowledge of the concrete route ZSSK believes that the situation with train drivers will be resolved soon Kováč clarified that the cancelled trains provide reinforced suburban transport the cancellation of which will bring the least problems in securing transport in the region mostly passenger trains on the routes Bratislava - Malacky so it is possible to use the trains that remained in the schedule," he emphasised VTJ Koba Senec is this season playing in Slovakia's elite football division After finshing first in the second division last year and thus qualifying for promotion to the premier league Senec has played surprisingly well and currently holds down sixth place out of 16 teams after four games.Senec's Superliga promotion almost never occurred A controversial decision by the Slovak Football Union overturned the results of a match played between ŠKP Devín and Senec in early June which nullified a Senec victory and meant that Devín moved up to the Superliga instead was based on the argument that one of the Senec players had been ineligible to play in June because he had received a yellow card in 1997 while playing for a different team The 1999-2000 Senec football team has surpassed expectations.photo: Courtesy of Senec Senec has played surprisingly well and currently holds down sixth place out of 16 teams after four games Senec's Superliga promotion almost never occurred A controversial decision by the Slovak Football Union overturned the results of a match played between ŠKP Devín and Senec in early June which nullified a Senec victory and meant that Devín moved up to the Superliga instead Senec immediately filed a protest and accused the Devin ownership and the Slovak Football Union of acting in collusion Senec players were reported to have wept with disappointment and over 300 fans threatened a hunger strike in support of their home team and Senec was awarded its first berth in the Superliga Milan Lončík of ŠKP Devín said that his squad held no hard feelings against the Senec club "We are sorry that we aren't in the league but we are not angry at Senec for making it over us," he said on August 17 the team faces another uphill battle - avoiding relegation next year Thanks to a plan to cut the Superliga's 16 teams to just 10 next year the 1999-2000 season will be contested bitterly by clubs anxious to remain in the big league Given the stakes and the importance of each result the underdog Senec club's cinderella start has been the biggest surprise of the young season Senec won their first Superliga game ever by defeating Dubnica 1-0 on the road and returned the following week for a 2-2 draw against a powerful Trenčín squad The unbeaten streak stretched to three matches as Senec won their home debut 1-0 against last place Humenne Week 4 brought the upstart Senec squad its first loss Senec again faced a road battle as they travelled to Ružomberok a club which was also unbeaten and tied for first with Senec using the match to send a message to the rest of the league "We are doing well," said Senec manager Štefan Mrva "The excitement of playing in the Superliga for the first time has created some enthusiasm Mrva said he had not lost contact with reality noting that the first two Senec victories were notched against two of the worst teams in the league "The early schedule has been relatively easy More difficult matches await us," he remarked Mrva added that the club's approach to this season has not differed from past years in terms of player training the club had been able to land six high-quality players since last season a feat they couldn't have managed without Superliga billing Joining Senec were Czechs Martin Švejnoha Ales Hellebrandt and Ján Zemlík Senec hopes that the new players will merge with last year's second division champion roster to ensure Senec a top-nine Superliga finish in its first year The league has defended the change from 16 to 10 teams as encouraging a higher level of quality and competition throughout the division "They want to improve the quality of the league but cutting teams won't improve the quality," he said "The quality of play in Slovakia won't improve until football at minor-league levels is properly prepared for and coached not just the grey-haired supporters the party is famous for came out to hear members of the opposition Movement for a Democratic Slovakia (HZDS) party denounce the Mikuláš Dzurinda government in west Slovakia's Senec on September 6.Most of the speakers' arrows were aimed at

Mečiar administration speaking to The Slovak Spectator after the rally which despite a recent tumble in the polls stands a strong chance of winning September 20-21 elections has dominated political
