About this plate

THE MISSION PLATE, EE plus five digits, for the vehicles of foreign diplomatic missions themselves. 1 states the rule in the same words the current statute uses; whether the EE prefix predates the 1997 reform was not established, and given the Czechoslovak system used different diplomatic markings entirely it probably does not. The 2023 reform did not touch this series' serial, it is one of the few Slovak plates whose meaning is exactly what it was in 1997.
