The Hungarian and Slovak governments have held talks on the Sajó river pollution
Work will start at the end of the week to curb the environmental damage on the River Sajó, Slovak Agricultural Minister Jan Budaj told his counterpart, István Nagy, on Monday.
Some 2.5 tonnes of contaminated water has flowed into the Sajó from an abandoned mine over the past three months,
the authorities said last week, with the pollution flowing downriver into Hungary.
At a video conference, Nagy welcomed Slovakia’s steps and said Hungary was ready to help in any way to curb the damage, the ministry said on Monday.
