Náš ujo prezident má v New York Times v sekcii platenej inzercie Special Advertising Supllement uverejnený imidžový rozhovor, ktorý by mu na Slovensku u jeho potenciálnych voličov asi na popularite príliš nepridal.

NYT: Slovaks have always been part of Europe. Now there is Slovakia…. What should our readers think when they think of Slovakia?
IG: Even though Slovaks are one of the oldest nations in this region, we have had our own state for less than sixteen years.
...

...
Slovakia continues to walk down the avenue of democracy.
...
Freedom is the most important thing for people on this planet.

Samozrejme, vety sú vytrhnuté z kontextu. Tu je celé znenie tejto reklamy v New York Times.
