#Slovakia is still applying #WorldWarII-era laws to confiscate private property of people w/ #German & #Hungarian origin, solely on #ethnic basis.

'Regardless of the eventual shape of 🇸🇰#Slovakia's official foreign policy, the potential dominance of pro-Kremlin figures in the new government should not be overlooked in #NATO's eastern flank.'

📌#Karpacz. Trwa 3⃣6⃣. Konferencja #EuropaKarpat. Tematem dyskusji jest przyszłość Europy Karpat w perspektywie młodych liderów regionu, którzy zastanawiają się w jakim kierunku chcieliby podążać, jakie wizje rozwoju i współpracy mają oraz jakie idee powinny im przyświecać.

"According to @iribeacon, ... the Facebook account of the Russian Embassy in #Slovakia is the most virulent in Europe when it comes to undermining the Ukrainian war effort." @TarnokB via @ForeignPolicy.  https://t.co/G276qmQkXy

#Slovakia holds snap elections in September. Polls predict Robert #Fico is likely to win. Anti-Western sentiment is on the rise and Fico is determined to take advantage of it to adopt an openly pro-Kremlin foreign policy.🇸🇰

My analysis on @ForeignPolicy.

#V4 cannot & will not be a political superpower with deep political cooperation in a wide circle of policy areas, but it can be & should be a strong #regional_cooperation based on the pursuit of #mutual_interests

@valois1328 writes on @AJEnglish:

“#Beneš_decrees remain in effect to this day in #Slovakia, enshrining the superior status of the “state-bearing nation” & denying equal recognition to those who do not subscribe to the identity of the national majority.”

🇺🇦 In its fight against Russian aggression, #Ukraine cannot win this war and lose its soul. Harassing its #ethnic_minority citizens, many of whom have shed their blood for Ukraine, is no way to build a successful democratic nation.

@MSPI_EU organizers keep fighting for minority & language rights in the EU. @FUEN_Info @vinczelorant
🇪🇺
Will EU ever take fundamental values seriously and respect the rights of persons belonging to (national) minorities?

The untold story of ethnic discrimination based on the collective guilt in a EU member state. Truly appalling.

"...serious human rights violations in the heart of Europe are consistently ignored. This goes against America’s own interests and undermines transatlantic unity at a critical time."

My latest op-ed at @TheNatlInterest on serious violations being ignored in #US #human_rights country reports.

While WWII-era laws are still applied in #Slovakia to seize private property of individuals on ethnic basis, @StateDept remains silent on this.
