Sources of Private International Law and Thier Interrelation an Application

The main objective of this scientific study is to analyze the issue of sources of private international law in the conditions of the Slovak Republic, which, despite being a national branch of law, is greatly influenced by globalization and international legal integration. It is the above mentioned reasons that make the sources of private international law no longer only at the national level, but transnational sources are coming to the fore. The fact that private international law is currently experiencing such a confluence of several sources of law makes it absolutely necessary to define the interrelationship between these sources. Several scientific methods of investigation have been used for the elaboration of our scientific study, such as, in particular, analysis, synthesis, comparison or historical interpretation. Our research has confirmed the primacy of international treaties as well as European law over national sources of law.
