EU country located to the south of Poland and to the north of Hungary (8)

I believe the answer is:

slovakia

(Other definitions for slovakia that I've seen before include "Country east of the Czech Republic" , "EU country" , "European republic, capital Bratislava" , "in E" , "Central European country" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
