Explosive and mysterious, a file named “Gorilla” contains evidence of corruption in Slovakia’s political and economic elite. Two months away from early parliamentary elections, who stands to benefit from the revelations? 
The European press provides a nearly unanimous homage to Václav Havel the playwright, dissident and first president of post-communist Czechoslovakia. Havel died of cancer on December 18. He was 75. 
In seeking to tackle corruption by means of illegal wiretaps, the disgraced former defense minister violated the very democratic principles he wanted to defend. And his case has further undermined Slovaks' confidence in politicians as well the press. 
Mooted eurozone reforms should enhance the single currency’s ability to weather financial crises, but will probably deepen the European Union’s division into an inner core (the eurozone) and the rest, argues a Polish columnist. 
Having rejected an expanded rescue fund for the eurozone, the Slovak parliament has jeopardised the EU response to the crisis. Seen from Bratislava, this vote is also a threat to the relatively new status enjoyed by the country in recent years. 
The crisis has accelerated the emergence of a new social class in Europe. Dubbed "the precariat" by sociologists, it is made up of young people with no prospect of a decent job or a reasonable standard of living. 
In 1992, Czechoslovakia separated peacefully into two countries. Today neither Czechs nor Slovaks regret the decision. Maybe it's time Belgium did the same thing, says De Volkskrant’s Central and Eastern Europe correspondent. 
Adopted just before the financial crisis hit, the single currency is still seen as the recipe for prosperity by most Slovaks. But many economists are beginning to wonder if Bratislava made the right choice. 
On 1 May, the doors will open wide for Poles, Czechs and other eastern Europeans now free to work in Germany. But no one expects a stampede. Quite the opposite: German companies will have to woo the new guest workers ardently and assiduously. 
After Greece and Ireland, now it's Portugal's turn. But isn't helping out indebted countries with the money of other indebted countries going to kill the euro? A Slovak columnist doesn't understand just what the EU is playing at. 
On March 15, Hungarians commemorated their Revolution of 1848. This year, however, the image of the historical revolutionary Kossuth has faded into the background behind that of the current Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán. 
Is there a way to satisfy a need to grow the labour force and set right the wrongs of history? In differing contexts, Hungary, Romania and Spain have found a solution, reintegrating “compatriots” living abroad. Here, a conservative Polish columnist offers his own peculiar remedy for the immigration “threat”... 
Like other countries in Central Europe, Slovakia is battling to overcome the scourge of endemic corruption. The government in Bratislava has decided to attack the problem by publishing documents relating to public calls for tender on the internet. 
The two main forces structuring Central Europe — the EU and NATO — might not go on forever. For this reason, Lidové noviny argues that the countries of the region should take action to heal the wounds left by the wars of the 20th century before they are once again caught in a geopolitical squeeze between Germany and Russia. 
Komarno and Komarom are twin towns divided by the Danube and centuries of rancour between Slovaks and Hungarians. But this flashpoint of nationalist tension that spilled over into an international incident last year is not all what it seems...
