Memorial plaque of József Blaskovics

The memorial plaque was placed on the wall of the village hall in 2005, and since then the main square of the village has been called Blaskovics József Square. In 2011, during the revitalization of the village center, the village foundation monument was erected with a European Union grant. At that time, the memorial plaque to Blaskovics József was also moved from the wall of the village hall to the right side of the monument. ; ; József Blaskovics (* June 12, 1910, Imely, † July 6, 1990, Prague, Czech Republic.
