Czechoslovak pensioners entitled to Czech pensions

The Constitutional Court has ruled that Czech citizens who were employed by Slovak companies during the existence of Czechoslovakia are entitled to the same pensions as if they had been employed in what is now the Czech Republic. The ruling was based on the case of Anna Weiszova from the eastern town of Opava. She was employed in Slovakia and as she was born in Slovakia she receives a Slovak pension which is lower than that of her Czech colleagues.
