Regions Of SlovakiaSlovakia is subdivided into 8 "kraje" (singular - kraj, usually translated as "regions", but actually meaning rather "county"), each of which is named after their principal city. The "kraje" are - and have always been - subdivided into many "okresy" (singular - okres, usually translated as "districts"). Slovakia currently has 79 districts.
