Districts of Slovakia facts for kids

An okres (pronounced OH-kres) is like a local area or a "district" in Slovakia. Think of it as a smaller part of a bigger region.

These districts help organize the country. Several districts together make up a region. And inside each district, there are many smaller towns and villages, which are called municipalities.

Slovakia has 79 districts right now. The capital city, Bratislava, is so big that it's split into 5 districts! The city of Košice is also divided into 4 districts.

The current districts have been around since 1996. At first, they had their own offices to manage things. But in 2004, these offices were changed. Now, there are "Circuit Offices" that often look after several districts at once. This means districts are mostly used for counting and statistics today.
