Summary/Abstract: The hectic international development in the first months of 2011 created an impression that 2010 was not very dynamic or even indistinct from the foreign policy perspective. However, we should not succumb to this delusion. Since the outbreak of the 2008–2009 global financial and economic crisis, the international development commenced its long journey of global or local turbulences that follow in the international events of 2010 and have continued with dramatic changes in the Arab world in 2011. As for Slovak foreign policy, it was also a year of changes in the government, the leadership of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and on the emphasis on specific aspects of foreign policy.
