Slovakia is a member state of the European Union as well as the Schengen Agreement. Hitchhiking here seems not to be so easy. People rarely tend to stop, when you are standing at the road with a sign. So it is best to ask directly at gas stations. Some, but not many, speak English or German. Russian is more widely understood, but not necessarily liked.
Young people can speak English and it's not so bad with English in bigger towns. Of course in villages it can become difficult to understand each other. Hitchhiking in Slovak means autostop.
Two weeks ago I was in Slovakia. At the gas station I was asking people. After 2 houers cops with were standing there told me that hitchhaking in Slovakia is lillegal(everywhere!!!) and driver can get 100 euro penalty(new low). After 4 houers cops live the station and some Czech took me. He told me thet is true...
You can find a lot of offers for hitchhikers at stopar.sk (available in English).
