It did so at the Secondary Vocational School (SOŠ) of the Police Force in Pezinok. Interior Minister Matúš Šutaj Eštok (Hlas-SD) informed about this at the press conference on Friday.
“The installed camera system at the SOŠ in Pezinok consists of nine cameras that monitor five key points within the school grounds,” stated.
