Why is nobody opposing the Chinese plant in Slovakia?
Security aspects are the tabula rasa of Slovakia's investment policy.
Most of Europe opened schools much earlier
It is five minutes after 12.
Sentenced!
It is definitely good news that at least one emblematic scandal did not end in vain.
Lex Panama, Slovak style
Even if Žitňanská’s law were to cut the plundering by just by a small fraction, we are still talking about some tens of millions of euros.
Lajčák a relevant UN candidate with little chance
The only thing that Fico could have done for Lajčák in Kremlin is the promise that Russia will not veto him.
