1993 – today The Hague, and what was leftHaag a to, čo zostalo

Slovakia became independent on 1 January 1993 and inherited both the barrage and the quarrel. The two states agreed to put the dispute to the International Court of Justice, and on 25 September 1997 the Court handed down a judgment in which neither side won. Hungary had not been entitled to abandon the works in 1989; Czechoslovakia had been entitled to prepare Variant C but not to put it into operation in October 1992; the 1977 treaty was still in force; and the two governments were told to negotiate in good faith and to compensate each other. They are still negotiating — Slovakia finally withdrew a follow-up claim in 2017. The power station's eight turbines produce about eight per cent of Slovakia's electricity, the two locks carry the Danube's shipping, and the town that lent its name to all of it got its town charter back on 1 January 2016.Slovensko sa 1. januára 1993 osamostatnilo a zdedilo aj vodné dielo, aj spor. Oba štáty sa dohodli predložiť ho Medzinárodnému súdnemu dvoru a ten 25. septembra 1997 vyniesol rozsudok, v ktorom nevyhrala ani jedna strana. Maďarsko nemalo právo v roku 1989 práce opustiť; Československo malo právo variant C pripraviť, ale nie ho v októbri 1992 spustiť; zmluva z roku 1977 naďalej platí; a obe vlády majú v dobrej viere rokovať a navzájom si nahradiť škodu. Rokujú dodnes — Slovensko svoju nadväzujúcu žalobu napokon v roku 2017 stiahlo. Osem turbín elektrárne vyrobí asi osem percent slovenskej elektriny, dve plavebné komory prevedú dunajskú lodnú dopravu a mesto, ktoré tomu všetkému požičalo meno, dostalo mestské práva späť 1. januára 2016.
