Institute for Public Affairs (IVO) in cooperation with the Center for European Studies (CES), Brussels and Institute for Modern Slovakia (IPMS) conducted in 2010 a research project focused on voters of the center-right parties in Slovakia and their perception of the EU membership. On March 9, 2011 the study has been presented together with a bilingual publication. The presentation took place in cafe Scherz and has been followed by a rich discussion.

The study is based on a representative sociological survey which was carried out by FOCUS agency in May 2010. However, the analysis relies also on additional empirical sources related to this topic and consequently provides a complex view on the perception of the EU membership by all social groups. The study was written by IVO analyst Olga Gyarfasova in cooperation with Marian Velšic.
