Summary/Abstract: In the beginning of the governmental period we set three goals for the Slovak foreign policy: the membership in the OECD, integration into NATO and the EU. We became a full-fledged OECD member in the end of 2000. According to the European Commission Regular Report we in 1998 as the only candidate country did not fulfill political criteria. In 1999 Slovakia complied with the political criteria and got an invitation to accession negotiations. The European Commission in its report for 2000 called Slovakia for the first time a market economy.We managed to remove all democracy deficits; we have an unequivocal foreign policy orientation. By fastening together implementation legislative, economic and technical measures in 2001 we eliminated our falling behind some Central and East European countries in integrational processes.
