"crisis was dragged out"

Slovak translation: Kríza sa predĺžila

English to Slovak translations [PRO]
Art/Literary - Government / Politics / phrasal verb
English term or phrase: "crisis was dragged out"
I cannot figure out, whether "dragged out" is in a positive or negative meaning (whether the crisis came or went):
"...it was during this period that the crisis of the euro was dragged out, that unacceptable conditions were imposed on Greece, Portugal and Ireland..."

Thank you.

Explanation:
Podľa kontextu by to malo byť takto (alebo podobne). Ukončená ešte stále nie je a jej začiatok by bol asi označený nejako inak.
