Nato will be watching you vote
The public's attitude towards Nato will be monitored in the run-up to the Alliance's November 2002 summit in Prague, said Nato Secretary General George Robertson.He also called on Slovaks to cast their votes in September 2002 general elections "with eyes wide open", warning that the elections fall just one month before 19 Nato member nations decide the fate of nine countries applying to join.Speaking at the Government Offices in Bratislava November 5 as part of his whistle-stop tour of would-be Nato states, Robertson said: "Any decision in a democracy is one which is taken by the people.

Review: Down home food with an unusual touch
By my count, Gremium is the third Bratislava restaurant to 'go American', not including Pizza Hut. The question posed by such restaurants is not whether the food will be authentic, but whether it will be any good, whatever it is.With Gremium the answer is a resounding yes. Its Caesar salad, the staple of the American franchise restaurant, comes soaked in a spicy mustard dressing instead of parmesan dressing. The staff at Thank God it's Friday's wouldn't recognise it, but I bet they'd enjoy it.The 'buffalo chicken wings' are another tasty misnomer. The sauce is a mixture of sour cream and chopped pepper, instead of cayenne-pepper sauce and butter. And it's served on the side. As a native of upstate New York I object to the false label, but am happy to report the chicken was tasty and tender and the sauce good in its own zesty/creamy way.
