Abstract

The belonging of Slovakia to Europe, the Western world, today no one doubts. However, several decades ago, especially after it gained independence in 1993, this fact was called into question. The paper traces the process of infiltration of the European idea into Slovak society, notes the peculiarities of the construction of national identity, studies the history of joining the Euro-Atlantic structures. The author notes that, despite the deviation from the course, both in the period preceding EU membership and after joining the union, the central idea was clear to be part of a united Europe. This was evidently manifested in the deepening of the integration processes and the desire to get closer to the «core of the EU» when Slovakia had already become its full-fledged member
