Lunik IX in Kosice, Slovakia

The family of Milena (mother of four daughters and a son) moved into a compensatory flat at Lunik IX after the other building ("Hrebenova 34-36") was demolished by the city of Kosice in August 2014. In the flat are living at the moment 3 generations including grandmother Bozena and new born baby - the conditions are very tough without gas, electricity and water from the tap. The day before - I was told - thiefs were stealing pipes in the flat above and since then water is running from the sealing to the flat (July 2014).
