Bratislava, January 9 (TASR) - Members of the parliamentary committee for supervising the activities of the National Security Bureau (NBU) will deal with the situation concerning the home ownership database at a special meeting on Tuesday (January 14), TASR has learnt from the Parliament Office's website. NBU director Roman Konecny, along with Geodesy, Cartography, and Cadastre Office (UGKK) director Juraj Celler should be invited to the meeting.
