The country is now well poised to close the gap in per-capita income levels with the rest of Europe.

You are here allRefer Reference Czechoslovakia History ... Czechoslovakia Czechoslovakia Slovak Republic On March 14, 1939, Slovakia declared its independence, causing itself the Slovak Republic. Monsignor Tiso was elected president of this new republic. A clerical nationalist, Tiso opposed the Nazification of Slovak society and hoped instead to establish Slovakia as a nationalist, Christian, corporative state. His plan conflicted with that of Slovak radicals who were organized into the paramilitary Hlinka Guards. The latter cooperated closely with the Nazi-oriented German minority led by Franz Karmasin. Radicals dominated the Slovak government. Vojtech Tuka, recently released from prison, became prime minister; his associate, Ferdinand Durcansky, was named foreign minister. Alexander Mach, head of the Hlinka Guards, was propaganda minister. German "advisory missions" were appointed to all Slovak ministries, and German troops were stationed in Slovakia beginning March 15, 1939. Tiso's power was strengthened in October 1942, when the Slovak Diet proclaimed him leader of the state and Slovak Populist Party, giving him rights of intervention in all affairs of state. The HG was effectively subordinated to party control. The new German representative, Hans Elard Ludin, concentrated his energies on war production. German banks acquired a controlling interest in all Slovak industries. With the aid of German investments and technical advice, Slovakia experienced a considerable economic boom, especially in the armaments industry, which had been controlled by the German government since December 1939. To some extent, Slovakia served as a showcase for Hitler's new order.

Slovak Republic Slovak Republic History and Government History: Over the course of the 10th century, these tribes gradually settled in the region and created an embryonic Hungarian state which adopted many of the systems and structures of its predecessor. Slovakia’s mineral deposits made it the richest part of the Hungarian empire and the region prospered, especially during the 13th and 14th centuries. This period came to an end after the Hungarians suffered a major military defeat in 1526 at the Battle of Mohacs at the hands of the Ottoman Turks, who promptly dismembered the empire. Slovakia, however, was able to resist the Ottoman occupation and allied itself with the Austrian Hapsburg monarchy. Between 1526 and 1784, the Slovak capital Bratislava (known to the Hapsburgs as Pressburg) was nominated capital of the ‘Kingdom of Hungary’ and over a dozen Hapsburg monarchs were crowned in the city. A dark period followed, in which the country was effectively under German control. In 1948, the Slovaks voted for a democratic government which was aborted when Slovakia was grouped together with its Czech neighbours after the Yalta agreement between the world’s superpowers. Another defining moment took place in 1968 when Alexander Dubcek (then leader of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia) introduced the policy known as ‘socialism with a human face’ that ended with the Prague Spring and the crushing of the reformist movement by the Soviet army. The period of ‘normalisation’ under democratic socialism finally gave way to democratic reforms in November 1989.

Although it's now holding its own in a rebuilding Eastern bloc, there's a refreshing absence of Prague-style glitz and clamour. This is a land of real spirit, where folk traditions have survived the domination of foreign rulers and a plethora of castles and chateaux pay testament to untold wars and civil conflicts. And the people have come through it all with their welcoming spirit intact.

Glossary Slovak Republic The Act on Protection of Personal Data in Information Systems was approved in February 1998 and went into effect on March 1, 1998. The Act replaces the previous 1992 Czechoslovakian legislation. It limits the collection, disclosure and use of personal information by government agencies and private enterprises either in electronic or manual form. It creates duties of access, accuracy and correction, security, and confidentiality on the data processor. Processing of information on racial, ethnic, political opinions, religion, philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, health, and sexuality is forbidden. Special protections are provided for sensitive data, defined as data revealing "racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade-union membership and data concerning health or sex life and conviction." Transfers to other countries are limited unless the country has "adequate" protection. All systems are required to be registered with the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic. The Act created a new office, the Inspection Unit for the Protection of Personal Data, headed by the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection, to supervise and enforce the Act.

Summary Continuing a trend begun following the fall of communism in Eastern Europe, drug use in the Slovak Republic escalated in 1998. The Slovak Government acknowledged in 1997 that Slovakia has changed from primarily a transit country for illicit drugs to a consumer country as well, and has taken steps to address this issue. Despite increased law enforcement spending and international cooperation on drug enforcement, demand for drugs within the country, trafficking of drugs and public awareness of drug use and sales throughout Slovakia has remained on a steady upward trend. Slovakia remains a transshipment point to Western Europe on the Balkan Route from the Middle East and Turkey to Germany, France and other European countries.

See also: Second press release Chairperson’s concluding remarks Improved economic environment fosters Slovakia's growth and foreign investment Back to top The Slovak Republic has made impressive strides in its transformation to a market economy over the last six years, and after a slowdown for the period between 1990 and 2000, economic activity has picked up. Domestic reform, including economic restructuring and increase in foreign investment inflows, are improving Slovakia's economic prospects, according to a WTO report on the trade policies and practices of the Slovak Republic. Economic reform, including trade and investment liberalization, regained momentum, especially after the late 1990s. Real GDP per capita increased to US$3,500 in 2000, and social indicators have improved. However, unemployment remains high at 20%. Rural poverty and regional development are still key policy priorities, according to the report which stresses that the main source of growth is the private sector now accounting for 80% of GDP.
