Summary/Abstract: I am glad to be here at our traditional meeting, which creates a platform for the Slovak politicians and experts for the regular evaluation of the Slovak foreign policy. The second year of the evaluation conference is truly a proper forum for such a purpose. Slovakia is a parliamentary republic, in which the parliament - the National Council of the Slovak Republic - actively takes part in foreign policy of the country, whether it happens through legislation or by building a new dimension of an active parliamentary diplomacy on a bilateral or a multilateral level. The evaluated year was a demanding and wearying period for the coalition, while it continued the fundamental economic and social transformation. Simultaneously, the coalition was under pressure of solving questions of unemployment, social problems of citizens, increase of prices; and what is more, it had to prove its capability to act effectively at the same time.
