Slovakia is a Central European EU and NATO member that has oscillated between pro-Western and Russia-sympathetic governments. Under PM Robert Fico (returned to power 2023), Slovakia has taken a more skeptical stance on Ukraine military aid and EU sanctions, creating tensions with Western allies.
Slovakia's automotive industry (Volkswagen, Kia, Stellantis, Jaguar Land Rover) makes it the world's largest per-capita car producer, tying its economy closely to European supply chains.

Ask Atlas anything about SlovakiaMUN Delegate Guide
As Slovakia, navigate between EU/NATO commitments and your sovereignty-first domestic politics. Frame skepticism about Ukraine aid as a pragmatic peace position rather than pro-Russian alignment.
Coordinate within the Visegrad Group, particularly with Hungary on sovereignty issues. Push for Central European economic interests in EU policy. Your automotive industry exposure makes trade policy crucial -- advocate for EU industrial competitiveness. Use your position on Ukraine to position yourself as a potential mediator.
Foreign Policy
Slovakia's foreign policy under Fico has shifted toward a more sovereignty-focused, less Atlanticist position, echoing some of Hungary's stances. It halted military aid to Ukraine and has been more sympathetic to Russia's narratives, though it remains formally committed to EU and NATO obligations.
Slovakia is a eurozone member and part of the Visegrad Group, though intra-V4 dynamics have shifted with changing governments.
