Wow, so sorry to hear about your baby girl, Tina. Talking about this issue, I know it's not all Slovaks as I have friends from there and they are usually super cool and modern. Very nice to get along with. But, as you called the bureaucracy is just horrible. After dealing with these people, I just d...

Thanks for the encouragement. I'll try to call them again tomorrow with a Slovak friend to see what they say.
