Slovak–Czech Mayors' Alliance
Our ambition is that cooperation between municipalities does not end with formal meetings.
We were created from the conviction that cities and municipalities face similar challenges today: pressure on budgets, the need to modernise services, to increase resilience to crises, to work with data and technologies, and at the same time to sustain community life and quality of life in their territories.

We build a stable network of cooperation based on trust, shared experience and long-term partnerships with practical impact. It should bring concrete opportunities – new contacts, meaningful projects, funding, testing solutions in practice and measurable improvements in public services.
Municipal development, better public services, higher quality of life.

How we approach cooperation
- Formal cooperation: Cooperation ends with a signed memorandum Our approach: Cooperation ends with a project
- Formal cooperation: Declarations with no follow-through Our approach: Concrete briefs, partnerships and projects
- Formal cooperation: A missing link between public and private sector Our approach: Municipalities connected to companies and experts
- Formal cooperation: Intentions without project preparation Our approach: From concept all the way to funding
- Formal cooperation: One-off meetings Our approach: A stable network built on trust
- Formal cooperation: Experience stays inside one municipality Our approach: Proven solutions carried onward
