Really good news. Next, I hope they can permanently delay this move to abolish regional codes..

Only positive thing about SK licence plates are regional codes. Otherwise our system sucks. Logic that plate belongs to car rather than person is not sustainable and its going against people so change is needed.

Do you think our region is "mature" enough for plates connected to the owner? It surely works in places like Belgium, Austria or Switzerland, but for example in Hungary, I think it would make spotting a nightmare, too many people would see it as a privacy attack if someone photographed their plate or uploaded it anywhere. (There are some idiots now as well, but most people understand that the plate belongs to the car and isn't personal info) I don't know what kind of mentality your people have, but we tend not to think too differently...
Anyway, I like SK plates as they are, and happy that the regional codes stay, abolishing them would just be dumb. Unfortunately it seems like this summer we'll still get the crappy new system, which was definitely designed for regional codes, but will be used without them...

Yes, with some more options now with 7 characters, but still in a pointlessly restricted format (with a mandatory number at the end) and for the same horrendous prices
The current series will be still valid (and probably transferrable for custom plates), only the old flag base is discontinued, so those plates can only be re-made with euroband. I don't know if this will mean mismatched pairs, or both have to be re-made in the same style.

Does this mean that owners of plates with flag are now required to have plates reissued with the EU stars before 1 July or?

Hungary must be quite inspired by Albania. They use seven characters but they barely reached the second series in like ten years.

Fortunately the original plates can stay, this only concerns replacements for lost or damaged flag plates.
I was also thinking of Albania
Hungary is a bit larger, but 7 serial characters only make sense in a France or Italy-sized county. Also, there is an additional weird rule: the first two letters will be either 2 vowels or 2 consonants, it's not allowed to mix them. Supposedly this is to avoid unfortunate 4-letter words 
but we still don't know if the system will start with AA, AE, AI... or straight to BB.

Two-letter combinations like CS and SZ actually treated as letters in Hungarian are likely to be skipped. I bet the best is to start it at AA.
Or, why not just issue plates randomly? It'd be more sensible for a seven-character format being used in a country eligible for a six-character one.

I know our colleagues in the US section hate it, but I actually like the random "scrambled letter and number format" that Arizona uses

A lot of combinations to go through
If it were to successfully work there should be a quite limited set of characters to reduce ambiguity and increase readability.

I think those are no longer issued, but it seems like they aren't actually random? The 3rd and 7th character is always A, and the 5th one progressed as A-B-C...
I would really hate a random format as well
Fortunately I don't think it could be logistically possible in Hungary. And yes, there are 8 digraphs in the Hungarian alphabet and those will be skipped as well.

Why not just assign a two-letter combination to a region of Hungary without it really having to be an abbreviation of the region's name (e.g. AA, AE, AI... = Budapest, BH = Debrecen, PW = Miskolc etc.)?
P.S. for Arizona the actual format has been CEA 1DB since February last year (unusual positions of alphanumerics - the second position progresses, then the fifth, then the first, then the last and then the third), where A-E are letters A-Z and then digits 0-9, and the fourth character is always a digit.
