President comments on Slovene foreign minister's claims on Piran Bay

PULA, Sept 24 (Hina) - Commenting on Slovene Foreign Minister Dimitrij Rupel's claim that Slovenia should have jurisdiction over the entire Piran Bay and that international arbitration was not the only solution to this Northern Adriatic border issue, Croatian President Stjepan Mesic said on Sunday, "This is starting to become a little ridiculous".
PULA, Sept 24 (Hina) - Commenting on Slovene Foreign Minister Dimitrij Rupel's claim that Slovenia should have jurisdiction over the entire Piran Bay and that international arbitration was not the only solution to this Northern Adriatic border issue, Croatian President Stjepan Mesic said on Sunday, "This is starting to become a little ridiculous".

He was responding to questions from the press before a session of the Istria County Assembly in Pula as he was visiting a new section of the Istrian Y highway.

"I met Minister Rupel at the United Nations, we talked about this issue and I had to make a joke. I said that if they continued to bring armed police and special police to the border along the Mura (river), we would be forced to bring a volunteer firefighting unit and we would sprinkle them. I think that this unit will also deal with his threats in Piran Bay."

Asked how safe Croatia was from possible terror attacks, Mesic said Croatia was a safe country.

"Our institutions function, although things could be a bit better in terms of security. We need not fear for our safety but must ask for a better implementation of laws and exclude selectivity in the implementation of laws, regardless of the party concerned."

Commenting on the protests of the public and the opposition in Budapest after it became known that the Hungarian prime minister had lied to the people, Mesic said that neither a politician nor anyone else had the right to lie. He said that perhaps those people were misinformed and were making the wrong conclusions, but added that if that was the case one should apologise.
