Dissolution of Czechoslovakia

edit
The Constitutional Act on the Czechoslovak Federation [1] 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. [2] 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 [3] 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.
