I'm fully aware of Slovak history, have been there, and my father's parents were Slovak.

The Yugoslav civil wars and atrocities were caused by morons who decided it was a swell idea to retaliate for bad stuff that happened 50-100 years ago against the grandchildren of the people that perpetrated it, and the violence was excused by that fact.

I agree with you that Slovak history does not justify the thuggery described in the article. But not many people are aware of that history, and the article does little to explain it.

Fortunately, unlike in Yugoslavia, the Slovak-Czech "Velvet Divorce" was entirely peaceful and I do not think there is any prospect of real violence between Slovakia and Hungary.
