It only displays sloppiness of the whole research. Slovakia should have similar statistics as Czech Republic (or other Central European countries), it used to be the same state Czechoslovakia and it has very similar culture. Companies often treat both markets as one and have offshores in both states, BECAUSE OF the similar language and mentality. See yourself: Power Distance: Czechia=57 Slovakia=104 (Poland=68, Hungary=46), Masculinity Czechia=57 Slovakia=110 (Poland=64, Hungary=88). It is just ridiculous.

As far as I have experienced, Asian cultures especially India, China, Japan are more high power distance ones. Interesting that Slovakia is the highest in the list though.
