January 31, 2008
Daily newspaper Pravda invited Ambassador Vincent Obsitnik to participate in an on-line interview, in which he answered questions taken directly from Pravda’s readership. The January 31 interview gave Slovaks the opportunity to pose questions on issues that concern them most, such as the Visa Waiver Program and Slovak-American relations. The Ambassador reiterated that the United States and Slovak governments are working closely to prepare Slovakia for the fastest possible entry into the Visa Waiver Program. He stated that the United States and Slovakia are partners in many areas and our relationship are very close. When asked to compare people of eastern Slovakia and American citizens, he said that they are similar in these important ways: hard-working, intelligent and loving their families.
