Assembly rejects bill to break up Czechoslovakia
Prague parliament rejected a bill to dissolve Czechoslovakia by year end without a referendum, falling short in Slovakia’s House of Nations. The measure would require three-fifths in all three federal sections, with only the federal parliament authorized to dissolve the 74 year old state. Leaders in both republics anticipate independence amid broader reform splits and a push for a December plebiscite.
