Summary/Abstract: The year 2015, proclaimed as the European Year for Development, was referred to last year in this publication as the year of missed opportunities in Slovak development assistance. The year 2016, however, brought other big opportunities, such as the Slovak Republic’s Presidency of the Council of the European Union, and the candidacy of Slovak Foreign Minister Miroslav Lajčák for the position of UN Secretary-General. Despite all these opportunities, and the continuity of government following the parliamentary elections of March 2016, the Slovak government has traditionally paid little attention to development cooperation.
