Well, to be honest, i no longer see Slovakia as an eastern European country. I'm old enough to have known the cold war and the limit between eastern and western Europe was only valid during that period. Before WWII, that part of Europe was called central Europe (Mittel Europa), those countries became "eastern" only because they became sattelites of the Soviet Union, but now that the Soviet Union no longer exists and that those countries are joining the European Union, i think it's only fair that they be called again central Europe, like before WWII.
