Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to map the current state of regional differentiation in Slovakia and to highlight the main trends of regional development. The main contribution method used is perceptual analysis. The paper follows two dimensions of regional differentiation of Slovakia. First of all, it confirms the fact that Slovakia is still a country of two nodal units with centers in Bratislava and Košice, but at the same time emphasizes the increase in the nodal space of Bratislava at the expense of Košice. Secondly, the paper tries to point out that Slovakia is moving towards a model of a country with large regional disparities. On the one hand, there is an economically developed west and northwest of the country, and on the other hand, an increasingly poor south and east of the territory. The result of this work is the evaluation of the current regional development of Slovakia. The paper offers reflections on further regional differentiation of Slovakia.
