Slovakia is also officially objecting its representation at the infamous "Entropa" exhibit on display in the building of the European Parliament in Brussels.

Ian Kubis, Foreign Minister of Slovakia has called the Czech Deputy Prime Minister Alexandr Vondra to voice an official complaint regarding the exhibit, the press center of the Slovakian Cabinet in Bratislava informs.

In the exhibit Slovakia is depicted as sausage wrapped with a string with the colors of the Hungarian flag - something the Slovaks consider an insulting message in the light of the recent ethnic tensions and the historically difficult relations between the two countries.

Bulgaria has already logged an official compliant about the exhibit representing the country as a squad toilet.

The Czech Republic and Vondra in person, apologized to "those who felt insulted", but still went ahead with the official inauguration of the exhibit. Vondra defended the provocative idea of the artist David Cerny.

"This is simply art and nothing more," Vondra said, adding that in order to realize our prejudices we first must get rid of them.

"Entropa" angered many in the EU with its form of a giant jigsaw map representing the "stereotypes" of each of the 27 counties in the Union.

The display portrays Bulgaria as a squad toilet, Romania as a Dracula theme-park, France is covered with the inscription "Strike!," Sweden looks like an IKEA box, the Netherlands is shown as series of minarets submerged by a flood, Germany is a network of motorways vaguely resembling a swastika, Spain is depicted entirely covered with concrete, Italy looks like a giant football stadium, the Denmark is composed of Lego blocks, which seen from afar remind of the Mohamed caricatures that fired up the Arab world in 2006 while the Great Britain is ascent from the exhibit.
