Shortly after the establishment of the first Czechoslovak Republic, there was a lack of national conscious educated workers in Slovakia. To address this issue, Czech employees were recruited. The number of the Czechs was thus growing gradually, and by 1930 it reached about 120,000 Czech citizens in Slovakia. The change in the political situation in 1938 considerably restricted the employment opportunities for Czech workers. After October 6, 1938 the representatives of the Hlinka's Slovak People's Party clearly demanded the departure of the Czechs from Slovakia. A significant change in the position of Czech employees in Slovakia occurred following the establishment of the Slovak Republic. The Slovak government decided to relocate all Czechs against whom it gradually adopted discriminatory legal measures.

The history of District children´s homes in Slovakia dates back to the period of interwar Czechoslovakia. They were founded and managed by the District youth cares, overseen by the Slovak Youth Care Centre in Bratislava. During the existence of the Slovak State, these institutions represented the most important organizers and implementers of social care for children and youth. The District children´s homes formed a network of private institutional care for worthy children, they served as centres of organized family care in the district. In 1942 there were 25 of these orphanages. They accepted only healthy children, called “normal” during the period that is the subject of this paper. In the case of District children´s homes, as a principle, children were placed in them only for provisional, temporary period. Children who were explicitly abandoned belonged to the state institutional care, followed by care in foster families. Children were admitted at the request of relatives, the home village, the district court or fiduciaries based in District youth cares. Qualified educators were in charge of education in the District children´s homes.

The study deals with the historical determinants, concepts and practical implementation of the foreign policy of the Slovak Republic in the first decade of its existence (from its establishment in 1993 to Slovakia’s accession to the NATO and EU in 2004). Author examines the external and internal factors shaping the Slovak foreign policy, i.e. in particular the dynamics, which on the one hand resulted from the attractiveness of NATO and the EU (and of the Western orientation in general) but on the other hand was based on the anti-liberal and nationalist political traditions and tendencies that were very significant in Slovakia in the respective period.

Main theme of this article devotes to activities and decisions of Vojtech Tuka after his return from prison to Slovakia in autumn 1938. In spite of statement that he will works in politics no more, his diplomatic activities were essential in the contex of slovak statehood creation. From autumn 1938 to spring 1939 he engaged in several political meetings with significants nazi statesmen including Adolf Hitler, Hermann Göring or german secretary of foreign affairs Joachim von Ribbentrop. Although the establishment of the independent Slovak Republic was not the decisive point as regards the result of the activities of Slovak politicians, but mainly due to the international situation in Central Europe and the decision itself Adolf Hitler and political activity, effort as well as its diplomatic connections were contributed to the final events of March 1939 that the Slovaks meant for the first time in the history of the era of national independence. Subsequently, during the existence of the Slovak Republic 1939-1945 Vojtech Tuka held political positions through which could make major policy decisions and heavily influence the affairs of state.

The article offers a cross-sectional overview of the recent amendments to the Slovak Act on international private law and international procedural law of 1963. Following certain fundamental changes brought about by the approximation of laws required in order to ensure the accession of the Slovak Republic to the European Union in 2004, the subsequent regulations on the European international private law and international procedural law have not been reflected by the Slovak legislature. Gradually, the national conflict of laws legislation started to diverge from European models in several areas. Practical difficulties are caused by the fact that Slovakia does not participate in the enhanced cooperation of EU Member States in the field of family matters, but at the same time does not offer any national solution concerning certain crucial aspects (for example the determination of jurisdiction for matrimonial property disputes). The article also describes the amendments that were supposed to facilitate the work of courts as regards the identification and application of foreign law or the enforcement of foreign decisions, as well as summarises the national debate on interim measures having extraterritorial effect prescribed by Slovak courts.

The author presents the history of the system of protection of basic rights and liberties which had been in force before the establishment of the Republic of Slovakia (before 1993). The paper casts some historical light on the legal status of protection of rights and freedoms in the first Republic of Czechoslovakia (before the Second World War) and afterwards. The author shows how the law was changing at the time of the existence of Czechoslovakia (as a commonwealth of the Czech and the Slovak), which influenced the legal regulations of the independent Republic of Slovakia. In the final part, the author presents the role of the Charter of Fundamental Rights and Liberties of 1991. Today, the Charter is one of the acts protecting rights and freedoms in Slovakia and holds the same legal position as the Slovakian Constitution. The paper aids the reader in understanding the sources of present legal constructions related to the system of protection of rights and liberties in the Republic of Slovakia.

The article focuses on questionable amendment to the Electoral Law in the Slovak Republic adopted in response to the delayed withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (Brexit). Following the new redistribution of seats in the European Parliament reflecting the planned leave of the United Kingdom, such amendment to the Electoral Law determines which one of 14 members of the European Parliament elected in Slovakia will not take up his mandate until legal effects of Brexit occur. However, the European elections in May 2019 showed that the application of the amendment to the Slovak Electoral Law can lead to a jeopardy of the principle of equal suffrage, which is a common value for all democratic states, not just those who are Member States of the European Union.

This paper attempts to identify the differentiated approaches of the Czechs and Slovaks in relation to monetary integration (the EMU) in Europe. It includes analysis of the key strategic documents programming the countries’ position in and towards the Eurozone, the presentation of selected economic parameters, as well as public opinion surveys on the issue, which divides not only Prague and Bratislava but the whole Central European region. As a result it shows the diversifi ed picture of the two member states’ approaches towards the Eurozone. Comparing the Czech and Slovak cases enables to observe two individual trajectories that launched in 1993. If not the Czech-Slovak divorce, both of the economies would be outside or inside of the Euro-club.

In one of the many definitions of public administration it was stated that it is the fulfillment of individual and collective needs of citizens, resulting from the co-existence of people in society, realized by the state and its dependent organs. One of the needs of an individual is the need for safety. Ensuring the safety of citizens is realized by the public administration, due to its service to the society as an executive apparatus possessing a democratic mandate of political power, in service of the law created by said organs. A particular role in the area of defense belongs to authoritative administration, which performs tasks including reversing risks and removing dangers, including the realization of tasks and undertakings aimed at military preparation in case of war. The aim of the following article is to present the tasks and competences in the area of protecting the President, the government, government administration officials on duty and local self-administration of the Slovak Republic. Various methods have been used to reach the pre-determined goal, primarily the method of document investigation, which made it possible to gather, sort, describe and scientifically interpret the legal acts of the Slovak Republic regarding defensive matters.

The article aims to describe the key events in the development of mental health care policies after 1990 in the two countries and identify the main reasons for stagnation or incremental changes to the institutional setting in the field of mental health care. The process of mental health care reform is explained using the framework of historical institutionalism. The explanation shows that the lack of political interest in combination with the tradition of institutional care resulted in poor availability of psychiatric care, outdated network of inpatient facilities and critical lack of community care facilities in both countries. Even though Slovak Republic adopted national programme at the governmental level, it still struggles with its implementation. The ongoing reform attempt in the Czech Republic may bring some change, thanks to a new approach towards strategic governance of the mental health care system and the mechanism of layering that the promoters of the reform use.

The issue of energy prices presents an extremely topical subject with a major impact on human society. Energy demand is constantly increasing and most regions of the world are facing serious difficulties in ensuring sufficient energy supplies. However, not only global events affect energy prices in the particular country. National energy markets are highly specific and some local factors may also prove significant. In our contribution we focus on the Slovak Republic and try to analyze the major political and economic factors affecting the final price of energy, particularly of gas and electricity. We pay attention to the period from the accession of the country to the European Union in 2004 until 2011 characterised by ‘third liberalisation package’ that is associated with a wide range of major changes. Largely monopolized energy market has been gradually opening up to competition and the countries with regulated prices have been facing the increasing pressure to let the free market decide. Progressive liberalisation of energy markets enables consumers to use the energy services offered by various private companies. This new element operating in the energy sector is largely reflected in final energy prices. Thus, the main goal of this study is to highlight the price disparities between different energy commodities in European Union member states since we are at present witnesses to of significant regional disparities in energy prices. We try to analyze current energy prices with respect to GDP (regarding purchasing power parity as well) to ensure that resulting comparison would reflect the financial potential of the population. Demonstrating the effects of the economic crisis on energy prices in different countries will be another important aspect of this contribution.

So far, only a limited number of representative studies have been conducted on exposure to sexually explicit media in women. Existing research tends to focus on men, who form the majority of users of sexually explicit materials. This research aimed at the identification of categories of sexually explicit videos sought by adult women in the Czech and Slovak Republics and the examination of variables associated with overall frequency of use of sexually explicit media. A stratified sample of Czech (N=400) and Slovak (N=413) women who confirmed the use of sexually explicit materials and were aged between 18–76 completed an online questionnaire through online panels of respondents. Participants reported the overall frequency of sexually explicit materials sought and its related measures. Using linear regression, authors tested associations between the frequency of sexually explicit videos sought and sociodemographic data, variables related to sexual behaviour, and lifetime experience with sexually explicit videos. Results showed a high prevalence of seeking sexually explicit videos that depict normative heterosexual and female homosexual activities. No significant differences were found between the Czech and Slovak samples in searching for particular sexually explicit content. Authors found that younger age, higher frequency of masturbation, and higher sociosexual attitude score (measured by SOI-R) predict a higher frequency of searches for sexually explicit videos in both samples. This is the first empirical investigation of sexually explicit video content sought by women in the Czech and Slovak Republics. The findings suggest that there is a high prevalence of sexually explicit materials use in women in both countries (Czech Republic = 60.4% vs. Slovak Republic = 62%), but further investigation is necessary to assess the impact of sexually explicit materials exposure on women.
