Relevant contents

Like Poland, experts in neighbouring Slovakia believe that enormous quantities of firearms and war materials can still be dug up in fields. Still, no credible estimates exist on the extent of the problem. These weapons stem from both the First and the Second World War. Post-Soviet legacy firearms have also been legally deactivated or downgraded to different types of non-live-firing weapons.
