Czechoslovakia's division -- its history ten years ago.
(From Czech News Agency)
PRAGUE, Dec 1 (CTK) - At midnight of December 31, 1992 the history of the joint state of Czechs and Slovaks ended. Shortly before it celebrated its 74th anniversary.
The establishment of two independent countries thus completed the almost two-year argument about the constitution of a joint state of Czechs and Slovaks.
The first months after the demise of the Communist regime in November 1989 revealed that the existing arrangement had no chance of surviving.
The issue of the new full name of Czechoslovakia, which came to the fore in 1990, gradually acquired quite unexpected dimensions. This led to a significant cooling of bilateral relations. The debates on who pays more to whom were also marked by emotions instead of quiet analyses.
One could have shrill voice in Slovakia demanding first the "authentic" federation and later national sovereignty of Slovakia. The constitution and division of powers between the Czech Republic and Slovakia were discussed by the political elites of the two countries after August 1990.
All the considered models, which included the idea of a "semi-detached house" (a sort of loose federation) or confederation stayed within the realm of theory.
