- Title: Slovakia-Czech Republic: New Republics
- Date: 31st December 1992
- Summary: The 74-year-old state of Czechoslovakia, founded from the ruins of World War I, vanished at midnight on December 31 1992 to be replaced by independent Czech and Slovak republics. In Bratislava several thousand people cheered and sang their national anthem as the red, white and blue Slovak flag was hoisted. In Prague Czechs were outnumbered by foreign tourists who flocked to the capital to participate in the celebrations.WARNING:LOCAL MUSIC LICENCES MAY APPLY.Copyright laws covering the composition, arrangement and/or performance of music differ from country to country, and even from state to state within some countries. These range from limiting the law to specific circumstances - e.g. 'performances given by professionals to a paying audience' - to total coverage that encompasses everything from a professional performance to the most amateur rendition - e.g. 'spectators at sports events'. If in doubt we recommend that either the section containing 'Music' is deleted or that the sound level is turned down and covered with commentary.
