The Miss Universe Slovenskej Republiky is organized and produced by Silvia Lakatošová. Lakatošová was the last Miss Czechoslovakia and first Slovak representative at Miss Universe, where she was fifth. Lakatošová acquired the Miss Universe franchise in 1999 and began the Miss Universe Slovenskej Republiky pageant.
