The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic shows respect for the Embassy of the Slovak Republic in Prague and has the honour to say that on 24 June 1994 the Ministry of Interior of the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic signed the Treaty between the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic on the modification of certain issues on the Matrica and Citizenship section. At the same time, both ministers agreed to exchange lists of national citizens of the Contracting Parties who acquired citizenship of the State of the other Contracting Party in 1993 by 1 September 1995. This will change Article 10 (2) of the Treaty, where the date for the exchange of lists was originally indicated on 1 September 1994. The Czech Party would like the opinion of the Slovak Party on that amendment to Article 10 (2) of the Treaty.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic has the honour to propose that this note and the following agreed response from the Slovak Party constitute an arrangement amending Article 10 (2) of the above contract document and that this arrangement enter into force at the same time as the Treaty between the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic on the adaptation of certain issues to the Matrica and Citizenship section.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic uses this opportunity to reassure the Embassy of the Slovak Republic in Prague with its profound respect.
