Extractions: Slovakia Plants and Animal Back to Top 43 % of Slovakia is forested. Species of fir and spruce are common in most mountain areas. At lower elevations, oaks, birches, and lindens predominate. Slovakias forests are home to foxes, rabbits, squirrels, weasels, and muskrats; wild boar and wolves are occasionally seen in remote mountain areas. Wildlife stocks have been diminishing in Slovakia, due to pollution, urbanization, and deforestation. Slovakia Communications Back to Top Slovakia Culture Back to Top The antecedents of a distinct Slovak culture date from the mission sent to Moravia in AD 863 by the Byzantine emperor Michael III at the request of the Moravian prince Rostislav; the Moravian state then encompassed at least part of the territory of present-day Slovakia. Byzantine determine was short-lived, disappearing from the region after the invasions by nomadic Magyar tribes toward the end of the 9th century. The South Slavs were separated from the Slavs living north of the Danube River, and, as the territory of Slovakia came under Magyar control, it became known as Upper Hungary.

Culture Of Peace
the fulfilment of man s dream A World of Peace. By Massimo Trombin MagdaBalentova Directors of the IRFF project The culture of Peace slovakia 1999
http://irff-europe.org/project/culturepeace.htm

Extractions: "Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defence of peace must be constructed." This principle, found in the preamble of the UNESCO constitution, was the motto of the first day of the IRFF international volunteers camp. The theme of the camp was"The Culture of Peace" and it was organised in Slovakia from 16th to 25th July 1999. 26 volunteers representing 12 different countries and three continents gathered in the historical village of "S ahy" situated on the Slovak - Hungarian border. One of the purposes of their gathering was to join local professionals in the archaeological research of a medieval monastery located in Sahy. This was also a pilot project for IRFF, an event with emphasis on the Friendship characteristics of IRFF. The cultural element of the program and the project "Culture of Peace" fulfilled the goal of more emphasis of cross-cultural friendship. The IRFF staff, together with the participants, can be called a laboratory for an experiment in friendships across cultural boundaries, and from the outcome we can safely say that it was a success. The days of the camp where divided into several sections. The first two days focused on orientation and education, after which followed 5 days of work, and the last day was reserved for reflection and the closing ceremony. On Friday evening at the opening ceremony, welcoming remarks and a presentation on the topics of the history of the Sahy area and UNESCO works in Slovakia was given by Ms Dvorakova. She is the Vice-director of the Slovak National Institute of Monuments Preservation and a member of the UNESCO National Commission in Slovakia.

Slovakia is a party to the Council of Europe Convention on Transfrontier Television and its amending protocol. In its 1997 Opinion, the Commission concluded that, provided that the necessary legislative measures are pursued with sufficient urgency and are accompanied by the necessary structural adaptations of the industry, it was reasonable to expect that Slovakia should be able to meet EC requirements in the audio-visual sector in the medium term. Since the Opinion, Slovakia has made considerable progress, and has reached, overall, an advanced level both in terms of legislative alignment and administrative capacity. The necessary administrative structures are in place.

Kennedy used to rest his bad back sold for $96,000 (75,223) to an anonymous telephone bidder Tuesday at the opening of a three-day auction of property from the Kennedy family's homes. The bidding at Sotheby's showroom was brisk, with many lots selling for 10 to 20 times their presale estimates. For whatever reason, I've always been fascinated with Kennedy,» said Doug Ellis of Princeton, New Jersey, who paid $1,560 (1,222) for a pair of brass candlesticks from the Kennedys' home in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts. «I probably have 600 books about the Kennedys.» The auction, which took in $1.7 million (1.33 million) Tuesday, was expected to be more modest in scope than a 1996 Kennedy sale at Sotheby's that brought in $34.5 million (27 million), including $2.5 million (1.96 million) for Jacqueline Kennedy's engagement ring from Aristotle Onassis.

Wed 18 Aug 04, 17:11 RSI Broadcasting of the South Korean TV channel Arirang in Slovakia could become the first bridge between the Slovak and Korean cultures. Slovak Culture Minister Rudolf Chmel and the deputy speaker of the National assembly of the Korean republic, Park Hee Tae, came to this conclusion at their Tuesday's meeting. Apart from broadcasting to Slovakia the TV station is also interested in presentation of Slovak culture in South Korea. Cultural cooperation of the two countries could follow cooperation in the economic area, which develops especially thanks to the investments of the companies Samsung and Kia in Slovakia. The South Korean TV station Arirang has been in the program offer of the largest Slovak cable TV operator in Bratislava and in Kosice since June 1. Arirang TV station broadcast 24 hours a day different kinds of programs from news, travel and music, education and language programs to films of Korean production. The decision of the cable TV company was motivated by the fact that approximately 900 South Koreans with families should soon come to Slovakia, since a Kia car plant should be built here. There are already South Korean employees and management in Slovakia, most notably in Samsung.
