{{Politics of Slovakia}}
The [[Slovak Republic]] has been a member of [[European Union]] since 2004. Slovakia has been an active participant in U.S.- and NATO-led military actions. There is a joint Czech-Slovak peacekeeping force in Kosovo. After the [[September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attack]] on the [[United States]], the government opened its airspace to coalition planes. In June 2002, Slovakia announced that they would send an engineering brigade to [[Afghanistan]].

[[Slovak Republic]] is a member of the [[United Nations]] and participates in its specialized agencies. It is a member of the [[Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe]] (OSCE), the [[World Trade Organization]] (WTO), and the [[OECD]]. It also is part of the [[Visegrád Group]] (Slovakia, [[Hungary]], [[Czech Republic]], and [[Poland]]), a forum for discussing areas of common concern. [[Slovak Republic]] and the Czech Republic entered into a [[Customs Union]] upon the division of Czechoslovakia in 1993, which facilitates a relatively free flow of goods and services. [[Slovak Republic]] maintains [[diplomacy|diplomatic relations]] with 188 countries.

==International disputes==
===Liechtenstein===
[[Liechtenstein]] claims restitution of land in Slovakia confiscated from its princely family in 1918<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=wWKKdtw_r0UC&pg=PA136|title=Citizenship, East and West|isbn=9780710304919|access-date=20 February 2015|last1=Liebich|first1=André|last2=Warner|first2=Daniel|last3=Dragovic|first3=Jasna|last4=Dragović-Soso|first4=Jasna|year=1995|publisher=Routledge }}</ref> by the then newly established state of [[Czechoslovakia]], the predecessor of the [[Slovak Republic]]. The [[Slovak Republic]] insists that the power to claim restitution does not go back before February 1948, when the Communists seized power. Slovakia and Liechtenstein established diplomatic relations on 9 December 2009.<ref>[http://88.82.102.51/fileadmin/_pm.liechtenstein.li/en/091209_Beziehungen_SKFL_en.pdf Amt für Auswärtige Angelegenheiten (ed.): ''Liechtenstein and the Slovak Republic establish diplomatic relations'',  9 December 2009.] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110511222920/http://88.82.102.51/fileadmin/_pm.liechtenstein.li/en/091209_Beziehungen_SKFL_en.pdf |date=11 May 2011 }}</ref>

===Hungary===
Bilateral government, legal, technical and economic working group negotiations continued in 2006 between Slovakia and Hungary over Hungary's completion of its portion of the [[Gabčíkovo - Nagymaros Dams|Gabcikovo-Nagymaros hydroelectric dam]] project along the [[Danube]].<ref name="cia">{{cite web

==Multilateral agreements==
In July 2022 after the [[Russian invasion of Ukraine]] the Prime Minister of Slovakia [[Eduard Heger]] made it known that he had entered discussions with the [[Czech Republic]] over the protection of Slovak airspace by Czech warplanes in the event that the Slovaks were to donate to [[Ukraine]] the remnants of the Slovak [[MiG-29]] fighter jet fleet, in advance of the fleet's replacement and renewal (at the earliest in 2023) by American [[F-16]] warplanes.<ref name="upscs">{{cite news |title=Slovakia can send Ukraine MiG-29 fighters and tanks |url=https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/07/3/7356118/ |publisher=Ukrayinska Pravda |date=3 July 2022}}</ref> The transaction would also include the remnants of Slovakia's Soviet-era [[T-72]] tanks.<ref name=upscs/> Czech PM [[Peter Fiala]] agreed with this initiative,<ref name="peucz">{{cite news |last1=GOUJARD |first1=CLOTHILDE |title=Czech Republic to protect Slovakia's airspace from September |url=https://www.politico.eu/article/czech-republic-protect-slovakia-airspace-september/ |publisher=POLITICO Europe |date=3 July 2022}}</ref><ref name="rcpm">{{cite news |title=Czech PM: Our fighter jets will guard Slovakia's air space from Sept |url=https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/czech-pm-our-fighter-jets-will-guard-slovakias-air-space-sept-2022-07-03/ |publisher=Reuters |date=3 July 2022}}</ref> which had been proposed by Ukrainian [[President Zelensky]].<ref name=upscs/> The transaction was set to occur in September 2022.<ref name="jukcz">{{cite news |title=Ukraine conflict: Czech agreement to defend Slovakian airspace paves way for MiG transfer to Ukraine |url=https://www.janes.com/defence-news/defence/latest/ukraine-conflict-czech-agreement-to-defend-slovakian-airspace-paves-way-for-mig-transfer-to-ukraine |publisher=Janes.com |date=5 July 2022}}</ref> In April 2023 it was confirmed that 13 Mig-29 fighters and 30 BVP-1 infantry fighting vehicles were delivered to Ukraine by Slovakia.<ref>{{cite web |title=Slovakia confirms delivery of MiG-29 fighters to Ukraine, takes more Leopard tanks |url=https://www.shephardmedia.com/news/defence-notes/slovakia-confirms-delivery-of-mig-29-fighters-to-ukraine-takes-more-leopard-tanks/ |date=21 April 2023}}</ref>
