Boyan Boev Im eastern European and im proud of it!!!
Martin Sloboda you may be but the the slovaks are not. talking about geography, culture and religion
Achmed Kariem
Achmed Kariem Why the exposure?
Boyan Boev Are you christian! ? LOL
Achmed Kariem
Achmed Kariem Boyan Boev what is a christian?
Nino West Ha Ha christianity is in the eye of the beholder!
Achmed Kariem Nino West read John 3:1-21 if you’d like to know. It’s in the Bible.
Nino West Try visiting the Immigration police then…sure feels like Eastern Europe in there! Maybe the staff should read the book and get inspired like the author?
Martin Sloboda you missed the point. it’s geography, culture, religion, etc. that makes slovakia central european. not the fact that we were “pulled” east against our will be the communists. by the way, communist ideas were not born in the east but in the west. the foreign police is a leftover of what we are trying to get rid of. anyway, i heard they moved elsewhere and it’s supposed to have improved although not ideal
Achmed Kariem We had to go to the Police to get number plates for our car. We had to pay 66 Euro!!! In Germany we paid about 30 Euro for number plates, from a private company. Government does not create jobs
Daniel Mark Martin Sloboda didn’t improve. Actually it got worse. I was there this week and went at 2am and was 20th person there. By 4am it had swelled to over 40 people.
Boyan Boev I dont need to go to the immigration police. Im EU. It tooks me 45 min. To obtain ID card. I know many foreigners complain of slovak foreign police. Im really sorry :(((( its a Shengen state…. No comments

Daniel Mark Boyan Boev so you haven’t been there in a while – or since they moved. All foreigners now wait in the same line regardless of if EU or non EU and if it is a new permit or a long term renewal or even an address change.
Llano Montes from my point of view slovakia is eastern europe because of cultural facts.
this cannot be assume as a less than central, german, northern, scandinavian, southern, mediterranean, western, french, or atlantic europe.
if we look traditional slovak folklore what we find is that it’s based upon slavic culture; yes, maybe bratislava was not the most slavic city in slovakia but is bratislava part of traditional slovak culture?
being from east europe has nothing bad, you have a really deep folk culture about being proud and others to learn about it.
burocracy… well if in almost 30 years of capitalism and 20 of web slovakia didn’t reach to electronic citizenship is most a fact of how people participate in politics
Boyan Boev Right! East of Slovakia starts Asia:))))
Llano Montes Boyan Boev no, europe continues because slavic is european culture.
