Domestic legislation on the establishment and functioning of CSOs reflects international and regional standards. Some improvements in implementation is needed.

The national legislation concerning establishment, functioning and dissolution of CSOs  is adequate. Strategy of Civil Society Development in Slovakia for 2022–2030 underlines the need to improve the legislation in areas where application practice, including international practice shows such need. This includes need to strengthen competences of the Council of the Government of the Slovak Republic for Non-Governmental Non-Profit Organizations, the Chamber of Non-Governmental Non-Profit Organizations or amending the Act No. 162/2014 Coll. on Public Collections and on Amendments and Additions to Certain Acts to reflect the current state of technology in the online environment. Legislation to increase the systemic resilience of civil society and participation of CSO is lacking.
