(From The Slovak Spectator)
Conspiracy of the monopolies By FrantiSek Mueka Slovakia will not introduce the euro in 2009 largely because of the countrys insatiable energy monopolies.
Given the governments current rhetoric, this will likely be its explanation when it is forced to delay the date of entry to the eurozone.
It will be an argument that the average voter can understand if energy prices had not grown so quickly, the euro goal would have been a sure thing.

Pragmatism should also reign on the other side.
