Slovakia Today, English Language Current Affairs Programme from Slovak Radio

Throughout the year, the team at the English section of Radio Slovakia International, Slovakia’s national broadcaster, reported on these and many other events. In this two-part special program, “Year in Slovakia”, we highlight some of the stories that made headlines, as well as lesser-known events that carry significant importance for the country. In the first part, we bring you the stories that captured the spotlight: the assassination of the Prime Minister, 20 years of Slovakia in the EU and 80 years since the outbreak of the Slovak National Uprising. The music break will be a song that stands in stark contrast to the newly arranged version of the Slovak national anthem.
