This is a very special event and the first time we have organised an overseas event with our friends at the Slovak Embassy.
First a little background. The Slovak Republic (2005 est. pop. 5.4m) is 18,917 square miles (48,995 sq km) and is located in central Europe. It is bordered by the Czech Republic in the west, by Austria in the southwest, by Hungary in the south, by Ukraine in the east, and by Poland in the north with Bratislava as its capital. Slovakia became an independent nation on January 1st 1993, when Czechoslovakia was dissolved.
