Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on the perceived safety and expected terrorism threat in Slovakia and its neighbouring countries. Data from the ESS integrated data file 1-5 were analysed. Results indicate that the level of perceived safety is almost similar across the neighbouring countries except the decreased level of safety in Ukraine. Slovak respondents worry most about the criminal acts as burglary and physical attack. Finally the respondents´ prediction of the terrorist attack in Europe and in their own country was analysed.
