Family ties are the result of the common history of the Czech Republic and Slovakia, which formed a common state for over 60 years. After the split of Czechoslovakia, many Slovaks stayed to live in the Czech Republic. While they previously lived in a joint state, on January 1, 1993, they became a national minority in the country on the western border. What did they have to do in order to continue living in the Czech Republic? Speaking next is Viera
Kucerova. First of all, we had to decide for Czech or Slovak citizenship. If we had Slovak citizenship we were foreigners in Czech Republic and we had to give up Slovak citizenship. So I
decided for the Czech one, not because I would not like Slovakia or that I did not care. It was because of practical reasons such as employment, taxes, maternity leave. Those were unbelievable things that we had to experience and no one could even imagine it unless they went through it.
