During this period, Slovak representatives were involved in a learning process by participating in day-to-day work of the EU. From institutional point of view, understanding of the decision making process followed by creation of appropriate national mechanism was the crucial task of mentioned period. This article is focused on analyses of some basic principles of the decision making process on European affairs in the Slovak Republic with the special attention of the particular role of the National Council of the Slovak Republic.
