What claims about Slovakia should not be believed? Let’s look at the 5 most common misconceptions about the Slovak Republic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83c\udff0 Slovakia is an expensive country to live in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course, everything is learned by comparison. There are countries where life is cheaper. But compared to other EU countries Slovakia is quite a budget option for living. Groceries, rent, public transport – all these things are noticeably cheaper here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83c\udff0 It is difficult to open a business in Slovakia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The country actively seeks to attract foreign investment and supports entrepreneurs. As in any country, there are bureaucratic procedures. But opening a business here is easier and faster than in other European countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83c\udff0 Slovak is difficult to learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course, if you are not familiar with Slavic languages and speak, for example, only English or German, you will need more effort and time to master Slovak. If you speak Ukrainian or Russian, you should have no problem speaking Slovak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83c\udff0 Slovakia is cold<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Slovakia has a temperate continental climate. You can’t call Slovakia a cold country. Yes, it’s not Africa. And there are plenty of ski resorts here for a reason. But in Slovakia, the summers are warm. Spring and autumn are quite comfortable. And winter can hardly be called severe. The snow falls sometimes, but frosts are infrequent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83c\udff0 Slovaks are very conservative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can probably trace conservative attitudes to some issues. But you can’t accuse Slovak society of conservatism. It evolves and changes over time. More and more Slovaks openly accept global trends and international influences. This can be seen in politics and in public life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
