SAM74 , Good evening from Helsinki , Finland. I am a 56 y.o. Greek businessman who travels in Eastern Europe since 1976 , i was young teenager and later do businesses with those countries since 1996. My ex wife runs a very succesful jewellery wholesale business , which i set up in 1993 , in Budapest and she does exports to Slovakia.
If you have visited as a turist Slovakia or any of those countries you can say that they got back their European look . But under this look the regime of the omnipotent super corrupted state is alive and dominates any business activity . Only German and Austrian companies do not meet obstacles . All others have to pay huge bribes , up to the point that the stste becomes a partner of the company . And when we say state , in these countries we mean a bunch of common thieves . Gangsters who carry the title of a minister.
Warmest regard to your beautiful , prosperous and well governed country.
