"The Danube Bridge near Komarno links Slovakia and Hungary. However, relations between the two neighbors are far from friendly.Recently, the Hungarian president wanted to travel privately via the bridge to Slovakia, to take part in the inauguration of a monument honoring King Stephan, the first king of Hungary but he was refused entry at the border and had to turn back. Some Slovaks take a dim view of the large Hungarian minority in the country. A ban on the use of the Hungarian language in public offices is aimed at keeping Budapest in check."
