Since the United Kingdom announced on Wednesday that it was triggering Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, its exit from the European Union may mean a duty for Slovakia to contribute additional tens of millions of euros to the EU budget. Specific budgetary impacts, however, will depend on several factors. Slovakia is among those countries of the European Union which will be economically most impacted by Brexit. Our exports to the UK represent more than five percent of GDP; only four European countries have a higher proportion, moreover Slovakia is in slight danger in terms of labour mobility, too.
