Current status: During this period characterized by quarrels between Czechs and Slovaks concerning the future of their co-existence he became famous by his statement that in the future Slovakia should have its own "little [European] star" in Europe, which at the time of existence of Czechoslovakia was a shocking statement.
Regarding the "little [European] star" in Europe, is it literally translated from a statement in Slovak? When I search for Čarnogurský Slovakia own star, most of the pages return something like "its own star" on the EU flag.
As I remember, during the period characterized by quarrels Mr. Carnogursky did not push for immediate loosening of the federation as some other politicians did (same opinion for example [1]). The expression shown desire for more international recognition (like the Hyphen War). Though it would mean a split of the federation some time in the future, I would mark the statement rather diplomatic than shocking. Carnogursky did not seem to follow make it or break it approach of some other party leaders. JanSuchy 23:41, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
The quote clearly starts with "little" and ends with "star", hence your objection is out of place (of course, the EU flag was meant, the text does not claim the opposite). The statement was shocking for everybody at that time, I clearly remember that. The expression is very pertaining and purely describing the public reaction at that time, nothing less and nothing more. I do not know and nobody knows, and I would not dare to guess, what exactly he intended to say. And I strongly doubt that he had something precise in mind. Using your terminology: even such a diplomatic statement was shocking, because it was one of the first such statements made by an "official" person at that time....Of course, if you feel that there is need and it is possible to clearly describe his opinion on the federation, go on and add it (From my point of view, he was one of those who did not know what he wants). That does not affect his "little star" statement and its perception at that time. Juro 04:20, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
