"Slovenia and Croatia are two neighbouring countries, nations which, for centuries, coexisted without any serious problems. That is the case today, as well, and the majority of Slovenes are in favour of Croatia gaining membership of the European Union at the earliest possible opportunity. After 18 years of negotiations, in 2009, the two governments succeeded in resolving their border dispute and, in particular, the disagreement about the northern Adriatic sea border, which was an issue of legitimate concern for Slovenia.
An international arbitration agreement designed to solve this problem equitably was signed in Stockholm, in the presence of the Swedish Presidency. The process of the agreement’s ratification has effectively entered its closing stages. We, in Slovenia, still have to vote on this, in a referendum scheduled for 6 June this year.
I call on European political forces, especially the European People’s Party, to familiarise themselves with the campaign taking place in my country this month, and to contribute to a positive outcome, which will reinforce good neighbourly relations and enable the unstable Balkans to have a European future."@en1
