This card accommodates for discounts in restaurants, free public transportation (Taxi's not included.) with walking and sightseeing tours, museums, and other places that tourists would plan to visit.

Bratislava is located on the Danube river; the same river that Vienna is located on. In the months of April to October, there is a ferry that runs three times a day for a reasonable price that interlocks the two cities.

Macroeconomic performance improved steadily in 1994-96 but privatization progressed only in fits and starts. Strong export performance boosted GDP growth to 4.9% in 1994 after a four-year decline. GDP then rose by 6.8% in 1995 7% in 1996 and 5.9% in 1997 rates among the highest in Central and Eastern Europe. Inflation dropped from 26% in 1993 to 6% annually in 1996-97 the lowest rate in the region. Private activity now makes up more than two-thirds of GDP. Although Slovak economic performance continues to be impressive many warning signs of possible danger ahead have been raised. Aggregate demand has surged in the form of increased personal and government consumption. At the same time that the budget deficit is growing the money supply has been rapidly increasing which could apply upward pressure on inflation. The trade and current account deficits both are mounting as imports soar and exports sag. Perhaps most troubling Slovakia continues to have difficulty attracting foreign investment because of perceived political problems and halting progress on restructuring and privatization. Continuing economic recovery in western Europe should boost exports and production but Slovakia's position with foreign creditors and investors could suffer setbacks in 1998 if progress on privatization and restructuring stalls and if domestic political problems continue to tarnish its international image.

La Repubblica Slovacca (in slovacco: Slovenská republika o, semplicemente, Slovensko) č una repubblica dell'Europa centrale. Confina con la Repubblica Ceca a nord-ovest , con la Polonia a nord, con l'Ucraina a est, con l'Ungheria a sud e con l'Austria a sud-ovest. La Repubblica Slovacca e la Repubblica Ceca sono nate il 1 gennaio 1993 dalla divisione pacifica (detta anche di velluto) della Cecoslovacchia (che giŕ dal 1990 aveva assunto il nome di Repubblica Federativa Ceca e Slovacca). Al contrario di come spesso accade in stati da poco giunti all'indipendenza, č importante sottolineare come gli slovacchi non abbiano nessun risentimento contro gli ex-compatrioti.
[modifica] Storia
La
pagina di discussione contiene dei suggerimenti per migliorare la
voce: Slovacchia
Fino al 1918 i territori oggi chiamati Slovacchia furono parte dell'Impero Austro-Ungarico. In particolare, nel contesto della Duplice Monarchia, erano parte dell Regno d'Ungheria, cosě come nei secoli precedenti, con il nome di Alta Ungheria. Dopo la prima guerra mondiale la Slovacchia subě un periodo di influenza sovietica, che portň alla fondazione della Repubblica sovietica slovacca, che durň solo pochi giorni: giŕ dal luglio 1918 infatti, una volta crollato il regime sovietico, il Paese si uně a Boemia e a Moravia, costituendo la Cecoslovacchia, insieme ai Cechi, a cui gli Slovacchi si sentivano affini. Il 14 marzo 1939, poco prima dell'annessione della regione cecoslovacca dei Sudeti da parte della Germania, il Parlamento Slovacco dichiarň l'indipendenza. Si instaurň un regime conservatore guidato dal parroco di Bánovce nad Bebravou Jozef Tiso, che diventň Presidente della Repubblica slovacca e segretario del Partito Popolare Slovacco di Hlinka, fondato dall'abate Andrej Hlinka, fautore dell'autonomia slovacca. Durante questo periodo di separazione dalla Boemia e dalla Moravia, lo stato slovacco assunse il nome di Prima repubblica slovacca, per distinguerlo dalla seconda (quella attuale).
Dopo la Seconda guerra mondiale guerra la Slovacchia passň sotto la zona d'influenza sovietica, perse la sua indipendenza, e venne ricostituita la Cecoslovacchia, sebbene con la perdita dei territori della Russia Subcarpatica annessi all'Ucraina, durata fino al 1993. Durante il periodo dal 1969 al 1990 la repubblica assunse il nome di Repubblica socialista slovacca, pur restando insieme alla repubblica socialista ceca in un'unione federale.
In seguito alla cosiddetta Rivoluzione di velluto la Slovacchia si separň dalla Federazione cecoslovacca, costituendo una repubblica autonoma e indipendente a tutti gli effetti. Protagonista del processo che portň all'indipendenza slovacca fu Vladimír Mečiar, a lungo anche Primo Ministro del giovane Stato. Spesso accusato di demagogia e dalle forti posizioni antieuropeiste, Mečiar cadde nel 1999. Si ripropose poi nelle ultime elezioni presidenziali perdendole perň al ballottaggio in favore del nuovo uomo politico emergente Ivan Gašparovič. La Slovacchia č in piena ascesa e Gašparovič e Mikuláš Dzurinda (l'attuale Primo Ministro) stanno stabilizzando il paese, che dopo l'entrata nell'Unione europea ha vissuto in un ambiguo clima generale, che oscilla tra l'euforia e la preoccupazione per le crescenti disparitŕ sociali.
[modifica] Politica
Il presidente, eletto con voto popolare ogni cinque anni, č il capo dello Stato. Il primo ministro, capo del governo, č nominato dal presidente ed č solitamente il leader del partito o della coalizione di maggioranza. Gli altri membri del governo vengono poi nominati dal presidente su proposta del primo ministro. L'assemblea legislativa, unicamerale e composta da 150 membri, č detta "Consiglio Nazionale della Repubblica Slovacca" (Národná rada Slovenskej republiky). I deputati sono eletti ogni quattro anni con con sistema proporzionale. Il principale organo giudiziario č la Corte Costituzionale (Ústavný súd), formata da 13 membri nominati dal presidente tra i candidati di una lista presentata dal parlamento. La Slovacchia č entrata a far parte della NATO il 29 marzo 2004 ed č membro dell'Unione europea dal 1 maggio 2004. Le ultime elezioni presidenziali si sono tenute il 3 e il 17 aprile 2004.
[modifica] Divisione amministrativa
[modifica] Strutture della amministrazione stataleLa Slovacchia si suddivide in 8 kraje (al singolare - kraj che tradotto letteralmente significa contea), ciascuno di essi prende il proprio nome dalla cittŕ capoluogo.
[modifica] Strutture della autoritŕ territorialeDal 2002, la Slovacchia č divisa in otto unitŕ, al singulare vyšší územný celok (unitŕ territoriale superiore) e al plurale vyššie územné celky (abbreviato VÚC), chiamate anche samosprávny kraj. Le unitŕ dispongono di qualche autonomia regionale. Attualmente, il numero, i nomi e i territori dei VÚC sono identici ai kraj e nella traduzione ufficiale dell'Unione Europea prendono in italiano il nome di regioni.
(La parola kraj puň essere preceduto da samosprávny kraj in ogni caso, o sostituita con vyšší územný celok). I "kraje" sono a loro volta suddivisi in distretti (okresy, al sing. okres, letteralmente tradotto in distretto). La Slovacchia attualmente č divisa in 79 distretti. (I distretti possono essere paragonati alle province italiane).
[modifica] CittŕCittŕ importanti sono tra le altre la capitale Bratislava (in ungherese Pozsony, in tedesco Pressburg, in latino Posonium), Košice (in ungherese Kassa, in tedesco Kaschau, in latino Cassovia), Žilina (in ungherese Zsolna, in tedesco Sillein, in latino Zilina), Nitra (in ungherese Nyitra, in tedesco Neutra, in latino Nitra) e Banská Bystrica (in ungherese Besztercebánya, in tedesco Neusohl, in latino Neusolum). [modifica] DemografiaLa popolazione č composta in prevalenza da slovacchi (86% del totale). La principale minoranza del paese č rappresentata dagli ungheresi (10%), che abitano soprattutto le regioni meridionali e orientali. Vi sono poi rom, cechi, ruteni, ucraini, tedeschi e polacchi. Stando all'ultimo censimento, i rom sono l'1,7% della popolazione; tuttavia, sulla base d interviste a sindaci e altri rappresentanti degli enti locali, sarebbero il 5,6% (il che contrasterebbere con le stime secondo cui slovacchi e ungheresi insieme compongono il 96% della popolazione). La Costituzione slovacca garantisce la libertŕ religiosa. Il 68,9% degli slovacchi si dichiara cattolico di rito romano, il 12,96% ateo, il 6,93% luterano, il 4,1% cattolico di rito greco, il 2,0% calvinista, lo 0,9% ortodosso, mentre il restante 1,1% professa altre religioni. Un tempo la comunitŕ ebraica era molto numerosa (120.000 persone prima della seconda guerra mondiale) ma, oggi, restano solo 2.300 ebrei. La lingua ufficiale č lo slovacco, facente parte della sottofamiglia delle lingue slave. In alcune regioni meridionali anche l'ungherese č lingua ufficiale. [modifica] Uffici in ItaliaOltre all'ambasciata di Roma, la Slovacchia ha aperto, in Italia, dei consolati nelle cittŕ di Torino, Trieste, Firenze, Forlě, Ascoli Piceno e Palermo.
