    Results of meeting of the City Council in December

    Bratislava, 11 December 2025 – An early Christmas gift for the people of Vajnory. At the last meeting of the City Council this year, members of the City Council approved a solution to the years-long problem of the ownership of the land under the football pitch in Vajnory. As a result, the Vajnory football pitch will no longer be on land belonging to a private agricultural cooperative. This saves both the pitch and the existence of the Vajnory football club itself. The City Council also approved the acquisition of land for the completion of an important intersection and the missing safe turnoff from Jarovce in the direction of the D4. It further approved the leasing of city premises that will serve mainly to help children and young people with disabilities.
