Country in central Europe whose capital is Bratislava (8)

I believe the answer is:

slovakia

(Other definitions for slovakia that I've seen before include "Ask viola about the European state" , "EU country" , "Central European country" , "in E" , "European republic, capital Bratislava" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
