All in all, 11 experts, mainly representing public authorities or the research sector, were available for in-depth interviews. A list of interview partners is provided in the annex. The interviews were conducted by Berenike Ecker (representing the “Pilot Project: Measuring what matters to EU Citizens: Social progress in European Regions” — hereafter the EU-SPI project). She was accompanied by Tomáš Teleky and Martin Hakel, representatives of the Bratislava Region. The Bratislava Region is one of the 10 pilot regions of the EU-SPI project. In fact, the region is interested in: applying the “EU regional Social Progress Index” (hereafter the EU-SPI) in the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) implementation at regional level; using the EU-SPI as a comparative/benchmarking tool for the performance of the regions; prioritising of investments according to the needs of the citizens of the region; and actively contributing to the “beyond GDP” debate. In this case study, an explicit focus was laid on the issue of ‘social inclusion’ and the related social inclusion concept that is currently in preparation on behalf of the Bratislava Region and the connections of this topic to the EU-SPI. Key socioeconomic aspects of the region Basic indicators about the region The Bratislava Region lies in the south-western margin of Slovakia and consists of 5 Bratislava districts (LAU I level), 3 rural districts (Pezinok, Malacky and Senec), and 73 municipalities. See Figure 2 below. With the capital Bratislava, the region has seven towns. It is both a NUTS 2 and NUTS 3 region. Following the NUTS 2 categorisation, the whole country is divided in four regions: Bratislava Region, Western Slovakia, Central Slovakia and Eastern Slovakia. However, statistical information about the country and its regions is very often provided by following the NUTS 3 categorisation on the basis of which Slovakia is divided in eight regions. See Figure 1 below. Comparisons of the Bratislava Region with other Slovakian regions in this section are also provided by following the NUTS 3 categorisation (Haasová & Špilka, 2018; The Bratislava Self-Governing Region in figures, 2018). In 2017, around 80 % of the regional population lived in urban areas, around 66 % (429 564 people) in the City of Bratislava (The Bratislava Self-Governing Region in figures, 2018). Figure 1 Geographical position of the Bratislava Region in relation to Slovakia 5 Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bratislavsk%C3%BD_kraj Figure 2 The Bratislava Region Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bratislavsk%C3%BD_kraj The population in all of the regions of Slovakia was stable or slightly decreased between 2013 and 2017. Only the Bratislava Region is an exception to this development. Its population has increased by 5.2 % in the time frame 2013-2017. This means that nearly 12 % of the overall population in Slovakia lived in Bratislava in 2017. So, the region with the smallest area had the highest population density (317 persons per km2) in that year. (Our regions 2018, 2019; The Bratislava Self-Governing Region in figures, 2018). Figure 3 Population and area of regions (2017) Source: Our regions 2018, 2019 Population structure, migration and demography Compared to 2013, the total increase of the population in Slovakia went up by 2 664 inhabitants until 2017. The natural increase was most significant in the Bratislava Region (+54.7 %) and in the Žilina Region (+64.8 %). The net migration has increased by 1 343 persons in the same time frame. The Bratislava Region was the most active region when it comes to migration (an increase by 2 444 persons) (Our regions 2018, 2019). See Figure 4 below. 6 Figure 4 Net migration in regions (2017) Source: Our regions 2018, 2019 In 2017, 89.87 % of the inhabitants of the Bratislava Region were Slovaks, while 10.13 % (65 917) of people had other nationalities; 3.85 % were Hungarians and 1.37 % Czechs. The number of people who declared themselves as citizens/members of the following states/ethnic groups were less than 1 % in relation to the overall number of inhabitants of the region: Germans (0.31 %/2 025), Ukrainians (0.22 %/1 404), Poles (0.17 %/1 107), Ruthenian people (0.14 %/919) and Roma people (0.11 %/745). The citizenship of 3.95 %/25 723 inhabitants was statistically not recorded (Regional Statistical Yearbook of Slovakia 2018, 2019). The Bratislava Region’s life expectancy in 2017 was 75.4 years/men and 81.7 years/women, above the national average (73.8 years/men and 80.3 years/women). The life expectancy of male and female inhabitants is also higher in comparison to the other seven regions of Slovakia (Haasová & Špilka, 2018). See Figure 5 below. Figure 5 Life expectancy at birth 2017 (years) Source: Our regions 2018, 2019 The median age in 2017 was 40.9 years. Of the inhabitants of the Bratislava Region, 47.57 % were men and 52.43 % were women (The Bratislava Self-Governing Region in figures, 2018). In the same year, 66.93 % of the region’s inhabitants were in the productive age (15 to 64 years), 16.71 % in the pre-productive age (0 to 14 years), and 16.36 % in the post-productive age (65 years and more). It is expected that the amount of people in the productive age will slightly decrease to 66.5 % in 2020 and 65 % in 2025 (The Bratislava Self-Governing Region in figures, 2018). Labour market 7 At national level, the average number of economically active persons in 2013-2017 increased by 1.5 % to 2 754 700 persons. The highest growth of economically active persons was recorded in the Bratislava Region (+4.5 %). In 2017, 24,9% of the national employment was allocated to this region. At the same time, 375 063 employers were registered in the Bratislava Region. With respect to the unemployment rate, the regional amount (4.2 %) was lower than the national average (8.1 %) and also second lowest after the Trenčín Region (Our regions 2018, 2019). See Figure 6 below. Figure 6 Unemployment rate in regions (2017) Source: Our regions 2018, 2019 Economy In 2017, the average gross nominal monthly earnings (EUR 1 449) were highest in the Bratislava Region.

  • State of the Environment Report - Slovak Republic 2012
    FOREWORD FOREWORD Few people today realize that the environment is a conditioning factor for the existence of each one of us. All of its components and ecosystems influence its trend. Their situation today is changing not only within the local and regional scope, but also at the global level. Several places have shown improved quality of the environment thanks to building the environmental infrastructure. Through implementing legal, educational, economic, organisational, and other instruments we have been trying to increase environmental safety, appropriateness, loading capacity, usability, and aesthetics. These include also building flood protection facilities in areas with the highest risk of floods in Slovakia. The world is facing environmental threats of global magnitude. These include, for example, impacts provoked by the changed climate or gradual depletion of selected strategic natural resources. All of this occurs also in consequence of a continuing rise in the world´s population that exceeded the number of seven billion people. In many countries, this has spurred phenomena such as starvation, poverty, devastation of land and marine ecosystems, reduction of biodiversity, excessive exploitation of minerals, and enormous air pollution, water contamination and environmental pollution by waste. The UN Conference for sustainable development - RIO + 20 organized in Rio de Janeiro in 2012 addressed the already mentioned as well as other issues. The Conference hosted also the Slovak delegation. This global conference of the highest rank analysed the possibilities of reducing the impacts of adverse environmental situation in social and economic aspects and proposed measures for its improvement and for securing sustainable development. Following the global RIO+20 conference, the European Union prepared its 7th Environmental Action Plan by 2020 (7.

    About the author: Prof. Rastislava STOLIČNÁ – rod. MIKOLAJOVÁ, PhD. She studied ethnology at the Faculty of Philosophy Comenius University in Bratislava. She is a senior researcher at the Institute of Ethnology of the Slovak Academy of Sciences and a visiting professor at the Silesian University in Poland. She belongs to the generation of researches who elaborated the fundamental works of Slovak ethnology: “Ethnographic Atlas of Slovakia” (1990), “Encyclopedia of Folk Culture of Slovakia I. II.” (1995) and the monograph “Slovakia – European Contexts of Folk Culture (1997, 2007 in English). She specializes in the study of the culinary culture of Slovaks. She has publishes several books, dozens of scientific papers and popular articles and was the author of the exhibition in the Slovak National Museum “Tastes and Scents of Slovakia” (2007) The National Cuisine of Slovaks The term national cuisine of Slovaks means, first of all, the culinary culture of people living in the countryside and small towns who considered themselves to be of the Slovak ethnicity, as since the Middle Ages larger cities of Slovakia were populated mostly by Germans, Hungarians and Jews whose cuisines differed and originated in a different social and cultural context. In the 19th century, the culinary cultures of the rural and urban worlds started to grow closer due to the development of trade, the first phase of modernization of housing and changes in kitchen equipment. Many people from the country started to work in factories and in cities. Exchange of information was more intense and first cookbooks were published. In spite of these facts, up to these days the Slovak cuisine has not lost its unique rural character by which it differs from the cuisines of neighboring countries.

  • THE POLISH POLICE Collaboration in the Holocaust
    THE POLISH POLICE Collaboration in the Holocaust Jan Grabowski The Polish Police Collaboration in the Holocaust Jan Grabowski INA LEVINE ANNUAL LECTURE NOVEMBER 17, 2016 The assertions, opinions, and conclusions in this occasional paper are those of the author. They do not necessarily reflect those of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. First printing, April 2017 Copyright © 2017 by Jan Grabowski THE INA LEVINE ANNUAL LECTURE, endowed by the William S. and Ina Levine Foundation of Phoenix, Arizona, enables the Center to bring a distinguished scholar to the Museum each year to conduct innovative research on the Holocaust and to disseminate this work to the American public. Wrong Memory Codes? The Polish “Blue” Police and Collaboration in the Holocaust In 2016, seventy-one years after the end of World War II, the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs disseminated a long list of “wrong memory codes” (błędne kody pamięci), or expressions that “falsify the role of Poland during World War II” and that are to be reported to the nearest Polish diplomat for further action. Sadly—and not by chance—the list elaborated by the enterprising humanists at the Polish Foreign Ministry includes for the most part expressions linked to the Holocaust. On the long list of these “wrong memory codes,” which they aspire to expunge from historical narrative, one finds, among others: “Polish genocide,” “Polish war crimes,” “Polish mass murders,” “Polish internment camps,” “Polish work camps,” and—most important for the purposes of this text—“Polish participation in the Holocaust.” The issue of “wrong memory codes” will from time to time reappear in this study.

  • Young People in Bratislava and Prague: National and Supra-National Identities1
    Young People in Bratislava and Prague: National and Supra-National Identities1 Ladislav Macháček2 Institute for Sociology Slovak Academy of Sciences, Bratislava Centre for European and Regional Youth Studies Faculty of Arts UCM in Trnava Young People in Bratislava and Prague: National and Supra-National Identities The split of Czechoslovakia is a challenge for politicians and sociologists even after a decade. An answer is sought to the question of whether the actions of the political elite were justified in the light of the commencement of European integration and the complicated split of the big federations (Yugoslavia and Soviet Union) with the consequences for peace and European stability. An answer is sought to the question of whether the Slovak or Czech public would support or refuse their decision if they had been given a referendum on the matter. In 2003, Slovakia, along with the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Slovenia, Estonia and Malta, successfully concluded pre- accession negotiations for EU membership (guarantee of implementing the standards of democratic governance), which officially begins on May 1st 2004. Being more enthusiastic for the newly independent Slovak Republic does not necessarily translate itself into lesser enthusiasm about Europe and European Union. However, young people from the Bratislava consider being future EU citizens as more important than young people from the Prague The young citizens of Bratislava have much greater expectations in Slovakia’s EU membership at the level of “being” in Europe than “having” something from Europe.
