Hello and Happy New Year my Polish friends,
after a couple of months of absence me - Funky Samoan from Frankfurt/Germany - is back to PF in order to do my part to further improve Polish-German relations and in order to learn to understand Germany's most important eastern neighbour better.
I always was interested how Poland sees its neighbour countries and thanks to PF I learned a great deal about the different viewpoints and mainstream attitudes regarding Poland's relations to Russia, Germany, Ukraine, Czech Republic and Lithuania. For instance I didn't know about that many Poles have very good feelings towards Poland's historic neighbour Hungary.
I found it striking that it is very hard to find anything about Polands attitude towards Slovakia, despite the fact that Poles are ethnically and linguistically closely related to Slovaks and despite the fact that - after 1945 - the long Polish-Slovakian border is Poland's only genuine border that remained almost unchanged over the centuries and is not the result of border shifting and ethnic cleansing (besides the small border to Lithuania and the Zaolza territory of course).
So how do you guys feel about Slovakians - your old (as a people) and new (as a state) neigbour in the South East?
I am happy to read your answers.
