The media add, however, that Zuzul and Rupel left concrete moves in
the settlement of open issues between the two countries up to the
prime ministers, who are expected to meet later this month.
Slovene Radio and Television's Zagreb correspondent said the most
important issue for Slovenia at the moment was the border deal, for
which he added there was no quick solution and that resolving it might
take up to 10 years.
