While similarities between two very different countries in size may seem unlikely, Dagmar Repcekova, the Slovak Republic’s Ambassador to Romania, suggests quite the opposite. Referring to the effects of the glabal financial crisis, she pointed out that Romania and Slovakia have many things in common. “Both countries have very strong business links with large western European countries, such as Germany and France, which have been seriously affected by the crisis,” she said, adding that most banks in both Slovakia and Romania are subsidiaries of foreign financial institutions.
