Slovakia set for referendum on same-sex marriage ban
Slovakia is due to hold a referendum on restrictions on gay rights and the adoption of children by same-sex couples.
Voters will be asked three questions, including whether marriage can only be a union between a man and a woman.
Conservative campaigners forced the referendum after a constitutional ban on gay marriage was enacted last year.
Earlier this week Amnesty International said the vote would "pander to homophobic discrimination".
