The media is turning up the heat on Bratislava’s new mayor Ivo Nesrovnal, who has softened his stance on how to resolve the delay of reconstruction work on the city’s decrepit main train station. Just months ago, Nesrovnal argued that the contract with the company Transprojekt should be revoked. Now, his spokeswoman Ivana Skokanová says the mayor has met with the investor and urged that the contract be respected, according to the daily SME. “The investor has promised to formulate a schedule of works,” she says. Transprojekt, however, had counted on building a new shopping mall at the station, something that retail experts in the Slovak capital call unlikely following the completion of the Bory shopping mall up the road to Brno.
