	Slovakia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is a member of the European Union (since May 1, 2004) and borders Czech Republic and Austria in the west, Poland in the north, Ukraine in the east and Hungary in the south.
		In 2004 Slovakia had a fertility rate of 1.25 (i.e., the average woman will have 1.25 children in her lifetime), which is one of the lowest numbers among EU countries.
		Slovakia is among the most attractive countries in the EU for foreign investors mainly because of its low labour costs (a 2005 survey by the prominent consultant firm Deloitte shows that Slovakia has the lowest labour costs in the European Union) and low tax rates.

		Slovakia's former authoritarian prime minister edged out the expected favorite in the presidential election Saturday and advanced to a second round against a former political ally.
		While Meciar was in power, Slovakia failed to qualify for joining NATO along with its neighbors in 1999, and it was unable to start negotiations with the EU for membership, since it at the time did not fulfill the political or economic criteria.
		Slovakia's former ambassador to the United States, Martin Butora, also ran for the country's top post, but was trailing far behind the leaders in the polls.

	Presidential election in slovakia
		The high abstention rate surprised the political analysts, who, on the eve of the election, were counting on an albeit insufficient participation rate of around 45% to validate the referendum.
		The former Prime Minister of Slovakia (almost uninterrupted between 1990 and 1998) once again succeeded in mobilising his voters, who are to be found mostly in the country's poor and rural regions.
		Nevertheless the leader of the Movement for a Democratic Slovakia continues to be a major source of antipathy on the part of many Slovaks that might not play in his favour.

		BRATISLAVA, Slovakia – A former authoritarian prime minister led after the first round of Slovakia's presidential election and will move on to a runoff against a former political ally, according to final results released Sunday.
		Vladimir Meciar, whose rule was criticized by Western leaders for its lack of democracy and rule of law, won 32.7 percent of the vote in Saturday's election, said Boris Balog, chairman of the Central Election Commission.
		By the time he was voted out of office in 1998, Slovakia was shunned by the United States and Western Europe, and both his popularity and that of his right-leaning Movement for a Democratic Slovakia faded.

	Memo: 'Terror' Election Barring Voters Could Stand - by Ritt Goldstein
		The magazine reported that authority was being sought for a potential postponement of the election, the implications of a terror attack or the threat of one cited as the proposal's rationale.
		Notably, the "legal resolution of an election during which significant numbers of persons fail to reach the polls due to the actions of the executive branch is beyond the scope of this memorandum," concludes the document, which was prepared for Congress by the American Law Division of the Congressional Research Service (CRS).
		As illustrated in the 2000 presidential election, which Bush won though he had considerably fewer popular votes than Democratic challenger Al Gore in the nationwide total, it is the electoral vote, not the popular vote, which determines the winner of the presidency.

		The referendum on early elections in Slovakia will coincide with the first round of the presidential elections on 3 April 2004.
		The parties in the ruling righ-leaning four-party coalition have criticised the move, arguing that the decision was driven by Mr Schuster's desire to win the votes of those opposed to the current government in his quest for re-election as president.
		The petition to call early elections was signed by a record 606,000 Slovak citizens.

		On the eve of the election all analysts agreed that a low participation rate would be in Vladimir Meciar’s favour, since he had a loyal, disciplined electorate.
		This is a welcome victory after the failure of the referendum on 3rd April on the holding of early general elections that was also largely supported by the populist leader.
		Contrary to the campaign during the last general election in September 2002 Western countries did not intervene in between the two rounds to convince the Slovaks of preventing the election of Vladimir Meciar – the limited powers enjoyed by the President helped to allay their fears.
