Nova Poshta, one of Ukraine’s largest private postal services, plans to start operating in Slovakia this autumn, it said in a statement on Monday.

"Starting in October, the first Nova Poshta office in the Slovak capital will serve documents and parcels weighing up to 100 kilograms," the statement reads.

The office in Bratislava will be open from Monday to Saturday.

Nova Poshta also expects to launch a targeted delivery service with couriers, the company said.

Slovakia will become the ninth European country where the Ukrainian company operates.

Nova Poshta is one of the largest postal services in Ukraine, co-founded and owned by businessmen Vyacheslav Klimov and Volodymyr Popereshnyuk.

The group includes Ukrainian and international companies, including Nova Poshta; NovaPay; Nova Global; Nova Post in Moldova, Lithuania, Poland, the Czech Republic; and Supernova Airlines.

Nova Poshta began active international expansion into European countries in 2022, during Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine.
