Event: State of Slovakia

A week-long debate on the future of Slovakia and its place in Central and East Europe. We have gathered Slovak experts to discuss the country’s future, examining various aspects of it.

On 30 September, Slovaks will go to the polls to vote in the parliamentary elections. Visegrad Insight will offer up-to-the-minute information on the elections and will preview the elections in a more systematic way, inviting politicians, experts, analysts, and leading journalists to discuss the current ‘State of Slovakia’ with an outlook for the future in mind.

This interactive conference will involve high-level speakers and thematic sessions highlighting what is at stake in this Central European country. It is part of a broader focus Visegrad Insight is putting on the elections ten years after our founding.

Under this format, Visegrad Insight invites a select group of transatlantic ambassadors, diplomats, experts and journalists for meetings with Central Europe in its thematic focus. Our sessions begin with on-the-record statements of invited speakers, and the second part is an off-the-record interactive moderated discussion. Read some briefs from previous meetings.
