ABSTRACT

This paper considers the problem of preserving traditional Slovak folk culture after the country's integration into the European Union as an important aspect of national security. In particular, it highlights the overt and covert threats to traditional national culture, which arise as a result of the intensive development of the processes of integration and Europeanisation, mass culture and multiculturalism, legal and illegal migration. The focus of the article, the author gives the inefficiency of the existing cultural policy of the European Union, aimed primarily at the transcultural cooperation rather than to preserve the traditional folk culture of Slovakia. In this regard, the author examines the existing communitarian and national instruments for preservation of traditional national culture of Slovaks gives provides an assessment of their effectiveness and possible ways to solve this complex problem.

Key words: cultural security, integration, Europeanisation, folk culture, securitisation.
