Slovakia enters Schengen zone

At exactly midnight on December 21, Slovak Interior Minister Robert Kaliňák and Roger Weber, the mayor of the Luxembourg town of Schengen, cut away the barrier at the Slovak-Austrian border crossing Bratislava-Berg, the SITA newswire reported. It was a ceremonial celebration of Slovakia’s joining the Schengen zone. Several thousand people came to celebrate this event, which means free movement for Slovaks across the borders of Schengen member countries. "Many of us remember that before 1989 we had no chance to get across this border. I’m very glad that the last brick of the Iron Curtain fell today," Kaliňák said. In the final minutes of the border’s existence, people could receive one of the last stamps into their passports. Kaliňák himself stamped some of them. Celebrations for Slovakia's entry to the Schengen zone started in the afternoon on December 21, when Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico and Austrian Chancellor Alfred Gusenbauer ceremoniously sawed through the Bratislava-Berg border, accompanied by the sounds of Beethoven's Ode to Joy. Festivities also took place at the borders with the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Austria. From Slovak Specator

on 01.01.2009 Slovakai join Euro

Slovakia is on the track to join the European Union's common currency, the euro, in 2009, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, said Thursday. "Slovakia is well placed to meet the conditions for euro adoption in 2009," the Paris-based group of 30 industrialized countries said in a survey on Slovakia released during a visit of its secretary-general, Angel Gurria, to Bratislava. It said that due to budget cuts, the 2007 deficit was expected to reach 2.9 percent of gross domestic product, meeting one of the key conditions for the adoption of the euro currency set by the EU at 3 percent. The report said also inflation was expected to be below EU requirements and praised Slovakia for high economic growth and falling unemployment. Prime Minister Robert Fico's coalition government, comprised of socialists and nationalists, repeatedly said it was determined to adopt the euro currency in 2009 as planned by Fico's predecessor Mikulas Dzurinda whose reforms helped bring the country into the EU and NATO three years ago.
