LJUBLJANA, June 17 (Hina) - Slovenia will make an offer to Croatia

nuclear power plant Krsko even though the agreement on Krsko has

Croatia will be offered the electricity at the price paid in
Slovenia, which includes fees for the dismantling of the power
plant, the Slovene government's state secretary for the power
industry, Robert Golob, told the Slovene news agency STA.
The possibility of Croatia's starting to take over electricity from
Krsko after four years was until recently linked to the two
parliaments' ratification of last year's deal on the regulation of
status and other legal relations regarding the power plant. This,
however, is questionable due to other open issues between the two
countries.
Golob said the offer to Croatia was also due to the need of avoiding
lawsuits for undelivered electricity. He said the Krsko deal had to
be ratified to facilitate the settlement of possible disputes in
the future regarding the management, decomposition, and disposal
of radioactive waste.
