English Translation

Although there are therefore sufficient reasons for the dissolution of the association and its subdivisions, I do not wish to be disbanded. However, I request that, with immediate effect, the activities of the Sokolverband, its divisions and branch associations and the associations affiliated to it be suspended until further notice. In addition, the association authorities must be instructed to prohibit the creation of replacement organizations. The closed transfer of Sokol members or the inclusion of larger groups in other associations must not be tolerated, associations which act contrary to this order must be assigned to the dissolution.
