According to the protest letter which the Slovene Embassy sent to the paper's editor-in-chief, Igor Alborghetti, it is inadmissible to print the borderline at the sea although no border demarcation has yet been carried out between Slovenia and Croatia in Piran Bay.
"In light of the fact that your weekly has a high circulation and enjoys good reputation among readers, the Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia feels obliged to warn that the sea borderline between Slovenia and Croatia has not yet been determined. The act of unilateral border demarcation is unacceptable and contrary to international and European principles of good neighbourly cooperation and efforts to solve outstanding issues by agreement," reads the letter signed by Ambassador Milan Orozen Adamic.
The embassy also asked the chief editor to publish the letter in his weekly.
Alborghetti told Hina on Wednesday that Globus would publish the letter in accordance with the Croatian Public Information Law but that he could see no problem in the road map given that it was printed in a printing house in the Slovene capital of Ljubljana and that it had been made by a Slovene map-maker.
