The aim of the work is to evaluate the process of nominal and real convergence in Slovakia. Furthermore, the introduction is addressed the macroeconomic development since the beginning of the separate state and evaluates it in the context of the accession to the euroarea. After posttransformating stabilization Slovakia was unable to start the successful economic development. Thanks to the adoption of restrictive measures and several reform steps since 1998 Slovakia managed to achieve a gradual healthy economic growth and improvement of macroeconomic indicators, which culminated in 2008. However in the end of the year hit Slovakia the first sign of cooling due to global economic crisis and because of this fact the work offers a short view of the fortcomming uncertain future. Nominal convergence represents within the European union the Maastricht criteria, Slovakia fullfilled them in March 2008 with caution. The real convergence is evaluated in the light of the indicator of GDP per capita in purchasing power parity, which development has seen in recent years a remarkable increase in Slovakia. Adoption of the common european currency does not mean to meat the formal Maastricht criteria but also requires the adoption of the various substantive aspects, such as Slovakia National Plan for euro.
