The Economist o Slovensku

V texte o problémoch východoeurópskych ekonomík: "The most solid prospect in the region now is Slovakia, thanks to the rigorous (and unpopular) policies of the previous government. Slovakia hopes to adopt the euro in 2009; the EU is scrutinising the figures now and will give its verdict in April. Soaring foreign investment and strong growth have stoked tax revenues, cutting the budget deficit. Slovakia's problem is inflation. It should fall to 2.7% this year, which is tiny by other countries' standards, and comfortably under the EU's target for euro membership—but it reflects artificial (and unsustainable) one-off controls on energy prices."
