Croatia and Janez Jansa of Slovenia adopted on Saturday when they met to
discuss problems surrounding Croatia's plans to build a dyke on the left bank

Government also confirmed the six-point joint statement.

Medjimurje area and in the Slovene area of Prekmurje against floods.
After today's session which it held by the phone, the Sanader cabinet
also made public the entire text of the statement.
