Active extraterritoriality is recognized for all offences under Section 4 of the Slovak Criminal Code. Passive extraterritoriality is recognized for particularly serious felonies (crimes punished with at least 8 years of imprisonment under article 11(3) therefore including, some particularly serious cases of child trafficking under Section 181, exploitation of children in prostitution under Section 367(3) and 367(4) and manufacturing of CSAM under Section 368 of the Criminal Code). Double criminality is recognised for passive extraterritoriality under Section 5 of the Criminal Code but excluded for active extraterritoriality..

SEC related offences can be considered extraditable if they are punished with at least one year of imprisonment under Slovak law (including all SEC offences under the Criminal Code) and fulfil the double criminality requirement (article 499(1) of the Criminal Procedure Act). Slovak citizens cannot be extradited.

SEC offences are referred to as extraditable under the European Arrest Warrant (EAW) framework within the EU without requiring double criminality if the act is punishable by a maximum period of at least three years of imprisonment in the requesting State.
