In this week's edition of The Slovak Snapshots podcast, we've rounded up Easter customs and traditions in Slovakia for you, as we celebrate Easter holidays together this weekend.

Slovaks do not let go of our colourful traditions. With the first day of spring, our boys can't wait for Easter to arrive. During Easter holidays they visit girls, whip them with a wooden whip (korbáč), and pour water on them. And when we say, "pour water on them", we often mean buckets full of water.

Former diplomat and foreign minister Ivan Korčok won the first round of the presidential election. The second round will decide on the new president of the Slovak Republic next weekend.
