06 133/320/l8 With regard to the development of the situation and the various discussions that we had, and bearing in mind that, after the surrender of Hungary, the Red Army could expect an early liberation of some areas of the Republic, I submitted, after consultation with my advisers 134/320/18 s d d Šnidke and Šrobar, the question of how they imagined the cooperation of my activities with that of the National Council in the liberated territory. 136/330/18 Both chairmen spontaneously told me that they were in favour of unity and the democratic ÖßR. They also believed that an agreement had to be reached on the administration of the liberated area. 137/ was missing. 138/ was lacking. 139/335/18 ....procedures, as in reality the head of the National Council imagines this cooperation. tch considers this decision to be a step forward from the original position, as recognised by decision of 28.9.140/345/18 c basis, provided that it is taken for granted here that the London government only represents the authority outside. Line 5019 141/320/18 In this case, in my opinion, the Council of Ministers could also carry out the implementation of the liberated territory and as the actual national country committee of Slovakia. 142/325/18 The government delegate or member of the government, who is in Slovakia, can then be authorised by the government to take some decisions together with the National Council, which would otherwise be entitled to 85/000/100 in urgent and indispensable cases of governance. A detailed limitation of mutual competence could be left to further negotiation and further development. At this moment, 82/700/000, in my opinion, is about the adoption of the basic principle of over-ordering and I appreciate, after discussions and the mood here, that there are no reasons why no agreement could be reached in principle. 145/320/18
