Slovakia and European Union
It is very important for Slovakia to be a member of the European Union .It is the biggest goal of Slovak's government nowadays. But to become a member of the EU is a difficult and long process. There are many conditions which should be met before Slovakia can enter this union. The EU is the biggest and one of the strongest unions in the world. The European Union is associated with strong and well-developed European countries, but many new countries, including Slovakia, have demanded entrance into the EU. The European Parliament is an organization which will conduct the entrance interviews, and also make final decisions. It will be very hard for Slovakia to pass these interviews and fulfill all claims of the European Commission. It is very hard to say when Slovakia will become a member of the EU. A possible date is January 2005, but it depends on many things and mostly on people. There are three points Slovakia must satisfy to gain entrance.

Fred Nicholson, who strongly supports SNS said for The Slovak Spectator, "Slovakia does not need to be a member of EU and EU is not very good idea for Slovakia. Your country does not need Europe and NATO."(p.2) But it is a big mistake; many people in Slovakia are very influenced by these people. People are not sure about European Union membership and we will never be one of the real members if people do not want to go there. People in Slovakia must realize that the European Union is the best way to live in the future. The Union is a gate for a better and safer standard of living. According to the European Commission (1997), the EU wants to unite all European countries in order to achieve peace & stability in Europe. The First and Second World Wars was very painful and mostly an instructive experience for all European countries. Prevention against world war is one of the biggest goals of the EU.
