Summary/Abstract: The Slovak Presidency of the Council of the European Union in the second half of 2016, and its efforts to obtain the post of UN Secretary-General for Slovak Foreign Minister Miroslav Lajčák, were the key aspects determining the development of the policy of Slovakia towards the countries of the former USSR. While relations with the Russian Federation and Ukraine displayed continuity, relations with Belarus underwent a significant change. These three countries played the most important role in the Eastern policy of Slovakia in 2016.
