We demand the Slovene government requests Croatia to ban control points from Slovene territory within 10 days, SSN states.
Slovene People`s Party (SSN) which is still raising signatures for a referendum on Croatian NATO accession, said it will not forsake its action and requested the Slovene cabinet of Borut Pahor to submit a demand to Croatia within 10 days, for it to remove border crossings, i.e. “temporary control points” Plovanija and Sveti Martin na Muri, which were claimed as Slovene territory at last week`s parliamentary sitting, Slovene media report.
- After statements of the Slovene Parliament that nobody has the right to negotiate or hand over
Moves of Slovene and Croatian politicians so far have clearly shown that Croatia is still not ready for NATO accession, while their voters have not yet had a chance to vote on the matter at a referendum.
“Don`t invite citizens to forsake their constitutional right to a referendum”
They criticised statements of Slovene President Danilo Tuerk, who said the referendum was not necessary and useless. He told the citizens to “think hard” whether they will give their signatures to the SSN party.
- We call out President Tuerk and all other political figures to stop inviting citizens to forsake their constitutional right to a referendum – the party`s press release reads.
The minor Maribor-based non-parliamentary party, largely consisting of the Viole football fans`s group members, also states it is ready to go all the way and raise the necessary 40,000 signatures for a referendum on Croatia`s EU membership.
