In April, 10 percent of Slovak respondents considered Russia to be a close ally, while in October last year, 9 percent thought so. In the Czech Republic, however, only 5 percent of respondents think that Putin’s country would be a close ally, while last October only 3 percent saw it that way.
Slovak and Czech respondents both consider Russia to be the biggest threat, but there are differences between the two countries. 52 percent of respondents in Slovakia and 68 percent in the Czech Republic consider the Russians to be the biggest threat. This is followed by the United States in the case of Slovak respondents, followed by Ukraine and China. While according to the Czechs, the second biggest threat might be China, followed by Ukraine and finally the United States.
On this question, Hungary ranks fifth in both countries. 14 percent of Slovaks and 11 percent of Czechs see Hungary as a threat.
Among the foreign and domestic politicians, Slovak President Zuzana Čaputová and Czech President Petr Pavel are the most trusted in Slovakia. In the Czech Republic, the most people trust the same two politicians, but the order is reversed.
Slovaks have a lot of faith in Viktor Orbán, Czechs somewhat less
The order of the trust index of foreign politicians also shows differences in the two countries. In the Czech Republic, Ukrainian President Zelensky’s trust index stands at 39 percent, while in Slovakia only 24 percent of residents trust him, reports Napunk.sk. It also turned out that
Viktor Orbán is considered the third most reliable politician in Slovakia.
32 percent of respondents in Slovakia trust the Hungarian Prime Minister, while 23 percent in the Czech Republic had the same opinion. In the latter country, the Hungarian Prime Minister was also preceded by EC President Ursula von der Leyen, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in the survey, but even so, he was not in a bad place. The Slovakian result may also be surprising because the leading Slovak politicians have not been talking regarding Hungary in the most favorable way lately.
The assessment of Russian President Vladimir Putin also differs in the two countries: 17 percent of Slovakian respondents trust him, while only 9 percent in the Czech Republic trust him.
