"Pavol Demes was a major player in events described in his excellent book covering the maturing of U.S. - Slovak relations into friendship, partnership and alliance," said Ambassador Russell. "I was pleased to know Pavol as a friend during my rewarding service as the first U.S. Ambassador to independent Slovakia."
The Friends of Slovakia awarded Demes the Medal of Honor for his contributions to the development of U.S.-Slovak relations.The book, published in English and Slovak, aims to outline the milestones of the Slovak-American relationship over the past two decades, and to remember the key diplomats and their staff who operated in Bratislava and Washington.
Current U.S. Ambassador to Slovakia Theodore Sedgwick wrote in his introduction to the publication, “It is of particular significance to me that this book was composed by another strong advocate of U.S.-Slovak relations, Pavol Demes. Pavol brings a special insight into this relationship as someone who has played an active role in its development, both from within and outside of government.”
