One on One Miroslav & Zdena Palat - a Czechoslovak marriage amid the Velvet Divorce
With just days to go before the 10th anniversary of the division of Czechoslovakia, Rob Cameron speaks to a Czech-Slovak couple about the 1993 "Velvet Divorce". Czech Miroslav Palat and his Slovak wife Zdena lived in Bratislava for many years, leaving Czechoslovakia for the U.K. on the eve of the 1993 split. They returned in 1997, and chose to settle in Prague. Rob's first question to Miroslav and Zdena was whether they were conscious of having separate Czech and Slovak identities before their country was divided in two.
