Summary/Abstract: This is the seventh occasion on which I have had the opportunity to present my thoughts to you in this forum. Taking stock of our foreign and European policy here has never been dull – the recent years, with both their successes and complications,have been dynamic, and often dramatic. I do not tend to use superlatives or exaggerate needlessly, but in assessing 2016 I can openly say that it was one of the most dynamic and significant years since Slovakia became independent. At the same time,it is clear that we are witnessing an extraordinarily hectic and complicated period of our modern history.
