On behalf of the hepatology community in Slovakia, we would like to convey our sincere congratulations to the HBV Clinical Practice Guidelines panel and to the leadership of EASL for publishing the first EASL Clinical Practice Guidelines [1]. We agree this important move should be seen as a conceptually welcome and a long-awaited step forward for EASL and for a particular field of contemporary hepatology. It also represents an important step for the prospective enhancement of the science-driven basis and internationally recognised competence of hepatology to provide the necessary authority for shaping the future development and implementation of the discipline of hepatology in Europe [2].
