Summary/Abstract: I would like to start my presentation by summarizing the most important results of the Slovak foreign policy. I can state with pleasure that in 2000 the Slovak Republic continued in strengthening political stability and acted towards foreign partners as a legible and trustworthy partner. The government took measures for realization of strategic priorities of the foreign policy - achieving membership in the European Union, NATO and OECD soon. The political and economic steps of the Slovak government were received abroad as a persuasive activity proving the interest of the SR to integrate with the most developed states of the world. This brief, a little bit general evaluation can give us the basic picture of the Slovak foreign policy, which will be followed by a more detailed insight into its single achievements but also into its problems.
