Mniejszość węgierska w polityce rządu Republiki Słowackiej w latach 1993‑1998
The Hungarian minority in the policy of the government of the Slovak Republic in 1993‑1998

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the analysis of the policy of the Slovak Republic government towards the Hungarian minority in 1993‑1998. This is the period of the first five years of the country’s existence on the political map of Europe. During this period, Vladimír Mečiar (twice) and Jozef Moravčík served as prime ministers. The study is based on the assumption that in the analyzed period the policy of the Slovak authorities towards the Hungarian minority affected the tense relations between the Slovak Republic and the Republic of Hungary. In addition, it had a decisive impact on slowing down the process of Slovakia’s accession to the North Atlantic Alliance and the European Union. The method of decision analysis found its application in the study, which allowed the presentation of situations and processes that are the culmination of decisions taken by representatives of the Slovak authorities. The institutional and legal method allowed to analyze multilateral and bilateral agreements to which the Slovak Republic was a party, and legal acts.
