Its aims involve scrutinising and analysing the public's opinions on the changing political, social and economic situation. The January 1999 research focuses on the evaluation of post-election developments in Slovakia, on citizens' expectations after the 1998 parliamentary elections. It also deals with the citizens' trust in political parties, institutions and personalities, electoral preferences, political stances and the potential of political involvement. Moreover, it looks into the views on foreign policy, attitudes to the Roma minority and Slovak-Hungarian relations.
