As in Slovakia, the question of the future set-up of the CSFR [Czech and Slovak Federal Republic] was an important political issue in the Czech Lands. In particular this was true in Moravia, which, compared with Bohemia, faced problems similar to those of Slovakia. The Moravian Autonomy Movement, with quite considerable local support in the region, called in its most radical expression for the creation of a three-pan federation consisting of Bohemia, Moravia and Slovakia.

Each of these cross-referenced versions takes up the numbering of the basic Dictionary; some versions also include English and French terms; other versions cannot be used without this Dictionary because they do not contain English/French terms(but only the numbering). The sixth edition(1990) was translated into Arabic, Czech, Greek, Lithuanian, Slovak, Spanish and Portuguese. The seventh edition(1997) was translated into Hungarian, Latvian, Romanian and Vietnamese.

The Visegrad Four is an unofficial name given to the four Central European post communist countries the Czech Republic, the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Poland and the Slovak Republic. Originally, the group was called the Visegrad Troika and the Four is the result of the split of the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic in 1993. The name of this grouping was chosen during a meeting of the Presidents of the CSFR Václav Havel, Hungary Árpád Gönz, and Poland Lech Walesa at an event held at the north Hungarian city of Visegrad on February 15, 1991. At this meeting the Presidents signed a declaration on a close cooperation of these three(today four) countries on their way to European integration. After the collapse of the communist regime their cooperation was important for the transition from a totalitarian regime to a free, plural and democratic society.
