Summary/Abstract: The author deals with the issue of Slovakian identity as a “young” country in the middle-east Europe, analyzing it in the context of the process of creating a nation (1989-2004). The main episodes from the Slovakian identity discourse are discussed and the author also concentrates on examining characteristics regarding the country’s national identity like constant strengthening and retouching the image of a national enemy, the neighbors’ object of aggression, Slovakian Pan-Slavism and the national identity in the context of genos, epos, etos, logos and topos, as well.
