"We almost unanimously agreed to propose that the European Council discuss the odd situation within an informal debate. Further proceedings with Croatia are hanging in the air and it all has a poor effect not only on Croatia but on the entire region," Slovene media quoted Jansa as saying on Wednesday.
He said that although there would be no formal decision at the upcoming European Council meeting, the next meeting should provide a better definition of what full cooperation with the Hague tribunal meant and how it was checked.
"The European Council last year concluded that Croatia was cooperating fully with the Hague tribunal and then this decision was changed on a lower level, which is unusual," said Jansa.
Slovene President Janez Drnovsek told Slovene Radio on Tuesday it was delicate to comment on the decision to postpone Croatia's EU entry talks. He said the Union probably wanted to signal the other former Yugoslav countries which wanted to join that no one would be let off lightly and that it wanted to close the doors of the Hague tribunal after putting the main suspects on trial.
