The Republic of Slovakia with its capital Bratislava (Eng. Pressburg) in Central Europe covers 49,035 km². It borders Austria to the west, the Czech Republic and Poland to the north, Ukraine to the east and Hungary to the south. In 1993, the two independent states of Slovakia and the Czech Republic were formed from the former state of Czechoslovakia after peaceful partition. Viticulture has a common history dating back to the Celts.
