LJUBLJANA, Sept 4 (Hina) - A Slovene-Croatian meeting in Ljubljana
on September 16 concerning the dispute between the two countries
over Croatia's intention to proclaim an economic zone in the
Adriatic will be technical in nature, the chairman of the Slovene
parliament's foreign affairs committee said on Thursday. #L#
"We insisted the meeting should be one between legal experts who
will define terms and not a meeting of politicians," Jelko Kacin
said in a POP-TV programme in which the chairman of the Croatian
parliament's foreign affairs committee, Zdravko Tomac, also took
part. They reiterated their countries' positions regarding the
economic zone in the Adriatic.
On Tuesday, Tomac and Kacin were interviewed by Radio Free Europe.
Tomac suggested the parliamentary committees on foreign affairs
should defuse the current tensions over the dispute, but Kacin
argued a meeting between the two bodies' representatives would
indicate lack of trust in the two governments.
