Národný výbor mesta Košíce 

National committees were established on the territory of Slovakia during the Second World War based on the decree of the President of the Republic no. 18/1944 of December 4, 1944. National committees have replaced the existing municipal councils in post-war Czechoslovakia. The National Committee of the city of Košice was responsible for administrating Košice between 19th January (the Soviet liberation of the city) and the communist coup d’état in Czechoslovakia in February 1948. In the month between February 8 and August 21 1945 it was called the Administrative Committee of Košice (Správna komisia mesta Košice). Their leadership was changed after May 1946 according to the result of the parliamentary elections. Members of the National committee had a wide range of competencies: the managing of the political, economic, and social life of the city, the confiscation of the property of"Germans, Hungarians, traitors and collaborator", the appointment of national administrations, the restoration and reconstruction of the national economy, tasks in the social and health spheres, the establishment of the National Security Corps, etc.
