What I would tell a patient flying to Slovakia
Slovakia is restrictive and I would not want the word theoretical to mislead you.
Sativex only domestically. The certificate is theoretically accepted, and theoretical acceptance does not mean low friction. Expect challenges even when your documents are correct.
ŠÚKL is the authority. If flower is part of your protocol, this is a high-risk route, and that is worth knowing before you book rather than after.
Patient education, not legal or medical advice and not a prescription. Law changes and enforcement varies by officer and by airport. Confirm your exact product, quantity and paperwork in writing with the authority named above and with your own prescriber, and carry the reply.
