Yesterdays reactivation of a border guard post in the Tatra Mountains is one piece of evidence.

Polonius, I'd like to ask you - why do you think reactivating a border guard post in the Tatra Mountains is a good idea? Slovakia is a member of Schengen, the EU and NATO too - don't you think it makes more sense to open extra guard posts on the Russian or Belarusian borders instead?

I'm all for strong border protection (especially on the Kaliningrad border!), but I just don't see the value in keeping redundant border posts on the Slovak border when the money could be spent on additional patrols on the Kaliningrad border.

a border guard post in the Tatra Mountains

I've hiked extensively in the Tatras. It's already full of "police" at every step, and this will only make the area less enticing for those who go there for solitude.

Merged: Fitch maintains Poland's ratings, ignores KODist pressure to downgrade

Yet another setback for Poland's whiney-snitchy losers camp! The Fitch Rating Agency has maintained Poland's A- long-term foreign currency rating and stable outlook. Its domestic currency rating has also stayed put at A. "Poland's A rating reflects its solid macro fundamentals, government debt close to its rating peers median and improving external finances from a weak starting point," Fitch said in a statement. "Strong GDP growth in recent years has supported an increase in GDP per capita, which remains low relative to rating peers." Earlier this year, the Standard & Poor's rating agency succumbed to extensive snitching and lobbying by Poland's extremist opposition and lowered the country ratings, although it economy was just as robust as it is at present.

Slovakia is a member of Schengen,

Suspended at the moment and of course another barrier to trade.
