Czechoslovakia put an end to the communist regime with the "velvet
revolution" in 1989.
The writer Vaclav Havel, became Head of State and
was unable to withstand nationalist tensions, but on 1st January 1993
nationalistic pressures gave an end to the Czechoslovak federation and
gave birth to the independent republic of Slovakia.
The economic legacy of the partition has greatly handicapped industrial
development centred on armaments.
The presence of a large Hungarian minority in the South of Slovakia and
the construction of the Gabcikovo dam on the Danube at the border with
Hungary has given rise to great tensions between the two new countries
resulting from the partition.
An agreement on the inviolability of its
frontiers with Hungary was signed in 1995.
Despite Russia's calls to
order, Slovakia, already an associate member of the European Union,
wishes to develop closer links with NATO..
