Freedom immediately reopened the old question of what Slovakia was to be inside the shared state. After the elections of June 1992 Václav Klaus had won in the Czech lands and Vladimír Mečiar in Slovakia on programmes that could not be combined, and the two men agreed to divide the country rather than govern it together. The Federal Assembly voted the dissolution through on 25 November 1992. There was never a referendum, and the opinion polls of the time showed that majorities of both Czechs and Slovaks would have preferred to keep the federation. At midnight on 1 January 1993 Czechoslovakia ended without a shot being fired — the Velvet Divorce — and the Slovak Republic began, with Bratislava as its capital; it joined the United Nations that same January, and Michal Kováč took office as its first president on 2 March 1993.Sloboda hneď otvorila starú otázku, čím má Slovensko v spoločnom štáte byť. Po voľbách v júni 1992 vyhral v českých krajinách Václav Klaus a na Slovensku Vladimír Mečiar s programami, ktoré sa nedali spojiť, a obaja sa radšej dohodli štát rozdeliť, než ho spolu spravovať. Federálne zhromaždenie odhlasovalo zánik federácie 25. novembra 1992. Referendum sa nikdy nekonalo a vtedajšie prieskumy ukazovali, že väčšina Čechov aj Slovákov by federáciu radšej zachovala. O polnoci 1. januára 1993 sa Česko-Slovensko skončilo bez jediného výstrelu — „zamatový rozvod“ — a začala sa Slovenská republika s hlavným mestom Bratislavou; ešte v januári vstúpila do Organizácie Spojených národov a 2. marca 1993 sa jej prvým prezidentom stal Michal Kováč.
