On 30 December 2023, the EU Member States unanimously approved the agreement on the partial integration of Bulgaria and Romania into the Schengen zone. The Minister of Foreign and European Affairs of the Slovak Republic, Juraj Blanár, welcomed the decision, which will include the two countries into the Schengen open-borders area by air and sea as of March 2024. Negotiations about land borders are set to continue at the European level next year.
On 13 November 2023, the Government of the Slovak Republic approved its manifesto.
The Schengen area is a part of the territory of Europe in which people may travel freely without any border checks at internal borders of Schengen Member States. Citizens from some non-EU countries are required to have a visa when travelling to the Schengen area.
Slovakia is a special country. Even in such a small area, you’ll find everything from natural treasures and historical monuments to rich folk culture and modern entertainment in the busy city streets. Enjoy the beauty and unique atmosphere that Slovakia has to offer.
A qualified, productive and cost-effective labour force, unique geographical location in the heart of Europe, macroeconomic stability and membership in the Eurozone are just some of the factors that enable the successful implementation of investment projects in Slovakia.
