The voluntary acquisition of another citizenship should no longer result in the loss of the Slovak citizenship -- according to the bill amending the Law on Citizenship that the Slovak government has approved on 25 January 2011 and which will be scheduled for discussion in the National Council of the Slovak Republic in February. The bill seeks to reverse the amendments passed on 26 May 2010 that entered into force on 17 July 2010. This earlier legislation had been proposed by the previous Prime Minister Robert Fico and was a reaction to the simultaneously passed Hungarian Law on Citizenship. In order to enable ethnic Hungarians in neighbouring countries to acquire Hungarian nationality, Hungary has removed the requirement of residence in Hungary as a condition for naturalisation.
