PRAGUE DAILY MONITOR/ BBC / President Vaclav Klaus has given his support to Slovakia after a new Hungarian law allowing the granting of Hungarian citizenship to Hungarians living abroad was passed. A senior Czech diplomat has said the tension in the Hungarian-Slovak relations was a moment that might "stir up" the atmosphere in Central Europe. Also, the BBC reports that Slovakia has voted to amend its own citizenship law, stripping anyone of their Slovak citizenship if they apply for a second nationality. Southern Slovakia is home to roughly 500,000 ethnic Hungarians, about a tenth of the country's population.
