Abstract

Communism in Czechoslovakia came to an end with the 'velvet revolution' of 1989 and the communist party-dominated regime collapsed within days, a situation, which meant that the changing of the political system could immediately take momentum. In the meantime the relationship between the Czech and the Slovak inhabitants of the country was worsening and this situation eventually led to the disintegration of the state itself: on January 1. 1993 the states of the Czech and the Slovak Republics came into being. Our research is aimed at investigating the first administrative reform of the Slovak Republic, ratified on July 24. 1996 (221/1996), inclusive of the phenomena that had preceded it. During our research a special emphasis was laid on introducing the issue of how the Hungarian minorities living in Slovakia were affected and discriminated by the reform.
