Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia and situated just a few kilometres from Vienna, is a city that has a booming economy and is quickly becoming a major player in the new European Union. It is experiencing major changes as businesses flood here to take up the opportunities that the new markets of Eastern and Central Europe offer.
