< Back PRESS RELEASE - Slovakia at a Strategic Crossroads: New Survey Reveals Public Support for NATO, But Deep Contradictions Remain Mar 11, 2025 A Nation Leaning West, Thinking Neutral, and Hoping for Safety Without Sacrifice The latest public opinion report by the Future Slovakia Forum titled “Slovakia’s Security and Alliances – Public Opinion Report (March 2025)” This report presents findings from a representative nationwide survey conducted by the FOCUS agency between March 3–6, 2025, on a sample of 1,006 respondents. It explores how Slovaks perceive NATO, defence spending, global threats, and the country’s geopolitical orientation. The report reveals the results of the first 9 out of 13 questions included in the full survey, offering a focused snapshot of Slovak public opinion on security and alliances at a crucial moment in regional politics. The data highlights a striking paradox: while a clear majority supports NATO membership (70.6%), there is widespread reluctance to increase defence spending or engage in military operations abroad. Many respondents identify with the West, yet simultaneously express uncertainty about Russia as a threat and hold negative views of the United States. These contradictions point to the influence of disinformation and the fragile nature of Slovakia’s strategic anchoring. The report concludes with recommendations for strengthening public resilience, reframing defence debates, and encouraging political leadership that is willing to make difficult decisions—even when public sentiment is unclear. The research was funded through public crowdfunding and features expert contributions from leading Slovak and European analysts.

The discussion highlighted real-world examples of Slovak-Ukrainian cooperation already happening in fields like infrastructure, technology, and public safety. 🗨️ “The goal isn’t just to help Ukraine rebuild—but to grow together. The potential for innovation, regional development, and mutual benefit is enormous,” Bořuta said, as he presented insights from the recent CIPE–FSF report on Slovak private sector engagement in Ukraine.

< Back Future Slovakia Forum Publishes the November 21 Declaration: "Defending Ukraine Is Defending Europe" Nov 21, 2025 A moral and strategic declaration warning against "peace proposals" that would negotiate Ukraine's future without Ukraine's consent — and the risks to European security. Future Slovakia Forum today released the Declaration of November 21 — a moral and strategic analysis responding to Ukraine's fourth wartime winter and to reported "peace proposals" that would negotiate Ukraine's future without Ukraine's consent. Why this Declaration matters Reported diplomatic initiatives from Washington risk imposing territorial concessions, military restrictions, and amnesty for war criminals — without Ukraine's full consent. The Declaration states: "This is not a peace plan. It is a capitulation document." Slovakia: A strategic contradiction Although 63.5% of Slovaks support a pro-Western orientation (FSF survey, March 2025), current government policy aligns with Russian interests. Slovak private defense companies exported $1.25 billion in weapons to Ukraine in 2024, yet PM Fico declares: "Not one cent for military aid." The Declaration concludes: "Slovakia has not become neutral. It has become complicit." FSF's position We stand unequivocally for Ukraine's right to determine its own fate. We reject all "peace plans" that emerge without its consent. "Freedom begins with truth. And truth begins with the courage to reject a lie — no matter who speaks it."

< Back PRESS RELEASE - Slovak Government Targets Political Pluralism Jul 2, 2025 New legislation aims to restrict funding, raise barriers, and weaken democratic competition The Slovak government has proposed a legislative package that significantly undermines the country’s democratic pluralism. Under the draft law, smaller and opposition political parties will face steep financial and administrative obstacles that threaten their ability to participate meaningfully in elections. Key measures include: Tripling election deposits for parliamentary elections (from €17,000 to €50,000) and increasing the minimum vote share required to reclaim the deposit from 2% to 5%. Raising the threshold for public funding —only parties exceeding 5% of the national vote would qualify for state contributions, effectively cutting off resources for smaller movements. Reducing existing funding by 30% whenever the public deficit exceeds 3% of GDP. Restricting donations by banning cash contributions and requiring detailed identification of all donors. Limiting parties’ ability to change their names , making organizational renewal more difficult. These changes are being advanced precisely at a time when the ruling coalition is consolidating control over public prosecutors, the police, and national media. https://www.slov-lex.sk/elegislativa/legislativne-procesy/SK/LP/2025/344 Article 31 of the Slovak Constitution clearly states: “The legal regulation of all political rights and freedoms and their interpretation and application must enable and protect free competition among political forces in a democratic society.” This legislation does the opposite. The civic association Future Slovakia Forum calls for open public debate on alternative reforms that strengthen citizens’ sovereignty and ensure fair competition, including its own proposal for a System 2027 , which envisions a two-chamber parliament and stronger regional representation.
