Dissolution of Czechoslovakia

 * The Constitutional Act on the Czechoslovak Federation hadn't foreseen any dissolution and didn't discuss any rights of the nations for self-determination.

That's technically true, but irrelevant. Dissolution was expressly allowed by the Constitutional Act on Referendum. The law (article 1, section 2) says: "O návrhu na vystoupení České republiky nebo Slovenské republiky z České a Slovenské Federativní Republiky lze rozhodnout jen referendem." ("A proposal for Czech Republic or Slovak Republic leaving the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic may only be enacted by a referendum.") However, no referendum took place, and instead a special constitutional act was passed, according to which as of midnight from 31 December 1992 to 1 January 1993 Czechoslovakia ceases to exist and its successor states, Czech Republic and Slovak Republic, come into existence.


 * The Slovak National Council's Declaration of Independence of the Slovak Nation approved in July 1992 was therefore unconstitutional – at least the planned outcomes were indisputably unconstitutional.

No, it wasn't. Besides, the declaration was not a legally binding act; it was a resolution with no legal effect.
