Entry Conditions, Rights and Obligations of Ukrainian Citizens in Accordance with Slovak Law

The armed, unjustified Russian aggression against Ukraine prompted a response from all neighbouring countries, including Slovakia. It obviously took on a legal form. Changes of the law, adapting it to the real needs of Ukrainians seeking help, but also to the need to ensure security and public order in Slovakia, concerned primarily: the possibilities and methods of legally entering the territory of Slovakia, legalizing stay there, enabling and later also facilitating residence, health care and education at various levels. The possibility of obtaining temporary refuge status proved to be a particularly convenient solution for Ukrainian citizens seeking refuge in Slovakia. Most of the considerations in this cross-sectional study are devoted to this issue.
