(8 years ago)Croatia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent signs to Slovenia today, calling for failure to implement the border and land arbitration decision between the two countries, which Zagreb officially refuses. With Slovenia's warning that starting tomorrow will begin implementing [...]
On the occasion of Slovenia's warning that starting tomorrow will begin implementing the arbitrage decision, the Croatian ministry through a note called on Slovenia's Embassy in Zagreb to refrain from unilateral decisions and to maintain constructive dialogue and avoid incidents.
On the note, Croatia's readiness to resolve the border issue with a direct agreement with Slovenia is expressed, and particularly emphasises that Slovenia expects “not to implement measures and uniform means and even expectations in the effort to implement an arbitration decision”, Kosovo Press broadcast.
The prime ministers of Slovenia and Croatia, Miro Cerar and Andrej Plenkov, at an earlier meeting in Zagreb found no reconciliation for resolving the border dispute, but said they would avoid incidents.
The Arbitrazhi Court for the Croatian and Slovenian border dispute has issued a ruling in late June, and Croatia is particularly concerned about determining at sea.
The court ruled that three-quarters of the Pirana Bay belong to Slovenia, and that Slovenia through Croatian territorial waters wins access to the open sea through a two-and-a-half-mile nautical corridor. The court also ruled that the border in Istria follows the Dragon River and ends in the middle of the Sv Canal. Odorika, which means Shkodel, Buzini and Melini-Scrile remain in Croatia.
Nor does Sveti Gera remain in Croatia, where there is the opposing military object of the former Yugoslav People's Army, which left in 1991, and was then taken by the Slovenian Army.
Croatia, unlike Slovenia, does not accept the decision because with the decision of the Parliament, it withdrew from arbitration in 2015, after it was found that Slovenian representative at the Court of Arbitrazhi Jerney Skolec and Slovenian Foreign Affairs Ministry Simona Drenik agreed to presenting Slovenian arguments and lobbiling with other arbitration judges.
Croatia believes the arbitration process has been irreversibly compromised and seeks bilateral resolution of the dispute, while Slovenia urges Croatia to respect the arbitrage court's decision.
