Districts of Slovakia


An okres is an administrative unit in Slovakia. It is inferior to a Region and superior to a municipality.

Characteristics

Several districts form a "Region". One district, on the other hand, consists of several "municipalities", which in turn consist of "cadastral areas".
Districts have been units of state administration in Slovakia since the time of the Habsburg monarchy, except for the period from 2004 to late 2013. Today, each district is administered by a "district office". Since late 2013, there have been also some special district offices being responsible not for the territory of a district, but for the territory of a Region - they are called "district office at the seat of a Region".
In the period from 2004 to late 2013, the district offices were abolished and replaced by "circuit offices", which were usually responsible for several districts.
Slovakia has currently 79 districts, the capital of Bratislava being divided into 5 districts and the city of Košice in 4 districts. The districts are named after the biggest town in the district.
