To tell the truth, I don't think much about citizenship as such. In the past, everybody had Czechoslovak citizenship and that was it. I realize the fact that I have different citizenship mostly at the time of elections. That bothers me a bit. I live here, pay taxes here, my children are growing up here, but I cannot express my opinion on the political situation. I know that some Slovaks were allowed to have dual citizenship, that is to say retain both Slovak and Czech citizenship, but these were only some special exceptions. At present, there is no such possibility. However, that's exactly what I would welcome: to have dual citizenship. After ten years of residence here I could apply for Czech citizenship, but I'd have to give up the Slovak one. I really can't tell whether I would abandon it or not. I would feel bad. For me, it's a kind of moral dilemma. I lived in Slovakia long enough to feel at home there. I think that my children will feel differently. They will spend most of their lives here, so it's up to them whether they apply for Czech citizenship or not. It's not my business to make the decision for them. However, if they want to live here, it's a sensible choice. Their grandma and friends in Slovakia may give them sour looks, but that's their problem. I think that people often confuse citizenship with nationality. Why, they can speak Slovak at home, if they want to, and feel at home both here and there. I personally feel Czechoslovak. When do I find my citizenship important, except at election time? Hockey! When the Slovaks play against the Czechs, I keep my fingers crossed for the Slovaks. Of course, when the Czech team plays against other countries, my whole family supports them!
