Do you have tools, a Multimeter?

Check your Kill Switch?
If you're sure the battery isn't charging then I guess you are past that stage, but they do catch people out.

Have you tested the charging on the bike or is it that you just have a flat battery?
You need to check the charging circuit, around 13.8 + volts at 3000rpm. If you're getting that then it's probably just a flat (or maybe faulty) battery.
If it's not charging then possibly a faulty regulator/rectifier or stator.
I also believe there is a problem with the magnets coming loose on the flywheel of that year bike?

A new battery has got to be worth a try. They do sometimes fail badly. How old is it, have you checked the battery leads, earths etc.
Beyond that I see a tow in your future.

Unfortunately in this model the common fault is faulty stator. I hope this is not the case, but if it is then it will be costly and time consuming repair, considering you are abroad. New battery for a start would be good idea.

If it'll start off a jump or a boost, try that.
Does the charge light go out?
Can you check what voltage is going across the battery at that stage, once running. I would have thought it'd be around 14V.

If the above advice doesn't solve the charging problem, then it may be worth having a look at the stator magnets. Chances are that you may require a new gasket after opening the stator cover.
Many first gen Vee owners have reported on stator magnet migration. The solution to repair this stator migration,

The same stator migration was also reported by various SV owners,

I have essentially DL1000 K5 and when I bought the bike it also had migrated magnets. So +1 for above.

I wonder if the OP managed to get out of Bratislava?
