Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to offer an overview analysis of the development of the foreign policy of the Slovak Republic, from the time it became an independent country in 1993 up to the present day. Both the evaluation of these 20 years of Slovak foreign policy and the overview of its development are based on one main criterion – the ability of each government since 1993 to achieve the goals they defined in foreign policy. The paper focuses on the key agendas of Slovak foreign policy in each period of its development as the author perceives them. This article does not aim to cover or interpret all issues connected with Slovak foreign policy over the last twenty years.
