Presentation of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Slovak Republic

Summary/Abstract: Let me in the beginning thank the Research Centre of the Slovak Foreign Policy Association for organizing this year’s Evaluating Conference of Foreign Policy of the Slovak Republic, tradition-ally prepared in co-operation with the Konrad Adenauer Foundation. In previous years, the Con-ference was organized by the Slovak Institute for International Studies. After its last year trans-formation, this task is now being carried out by its successor and follower – the Research Centre of the Slovak Foreign Policy Association. When I was considering my contribution today, I faced a dilemma. I am talking at a Conference evaluating last year’s foreign policy, but at the same time my speech is with a theme and at a time that are one of the crucial moments in the history of Slovakia. I have decided not to focus on the detailed events of the previous year but rather to assess in a wider scale what the closure of the integration effort means.
