"One should not exaggerate. Our countries have normal relations.
What has happened may go away in a few days if both sides show good
will," Rupel said on a Slovene television current affairs programme
on Tuesday night.
He reiterated that Slovenia had been granted access to the open sea
during the existence of the former Yugoslavia, and that
proclamation of an economic zone by Croatia would make it
impossible for Slovene ships to navigate in the Adriatic freely.
