However, Rupel pointed put that Croatian response to the Slovenian proposal for solving open issues between the two countries enables further negotiations and this is why the Slovenian party will propose intense negotiations that might start this month.

In its response to the Slovenian proposal for solving open issues between the two countries, Croatian government has proposed on Thursday that the border issue at sea is presented at the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea in Hamburg and not OSCE Court of Conciliation and Arbitration as Slovenia had suggested.
