Slovakia is subdivided into 8 krajov (singular – kraj , usually translated as "region", but actual meaning is "county"), each of which is named after its principal city. Regions have enjoyed a certain degree of autonomy since 2002.
The "kraje" are subdivided into many okresy (sg. okres, usually translated as districts). Slovakia currently has 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 (formerly known as the "district towns").
The different regions all have their own arms, but the districts use the arms of the principal city after which the district is named.
Coats of arms of the regions: Banská Bystrica (BC) Bratislava (BL) Košice (KI) Nitra (NI) Prešov (PV) Trenčin (TC) Trnava (TA) ilina (ZI) |
