The Ministry on Monday issued two documents with Slovenia's official positions on the two issues.
The 11-item document referring to the unresolved border issue says, among other things, that Slovenia insists on facts as established on 25 June 1991, and that those facts were also confirmed in a 2001 initialled border agreement between the two countries.
The document brings familiar positions according to which Slovenia is entitled to territorial access to the open seas. It says that if Croatia finds the initialled agreement unacceptable, Slovenia is ready for new border negotiations which would adjust the initialled deal to the ecology zone the Slovene parliament proclaimed a few months back.
"The European framework, namely Croatia's negotiations with the European Union, is a new opportunity to settle the border issue by European principles, which exclude unilateral moves," reads the document available on the Ministry's web site.
It goes on to say that a number of other issues are outstanding because of the border dispute and that Slovenia will insist they be closed in accordance with European legal standards.
Regarding unpaid deposits which Croatian citizens made in Ljubljanska Banka's Zagreb branch, a 14-item document says this is a succession issue related to the disintegration of communist Yugoslavia.
The document brings Ljubljana's familiar statements and positions on the matter, including the one that Croatia refused to settle the issue by arbitration and that contrary to all other ex-Yugoslav states, it was against having the deposits paid back by the territorial principle.
