This applies mainly to the area of economy and trade,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0stated the chief Slovak diplomat. According to Miroslav Laj\u010d\u00e1k,\u00a0the sectors with the greatest prospects are primarily the energy sector, the construction industry, the development of infrastructure, agriculture, information technologies, and tourism, with special focus on the spa industry.
