Asked about the date of a deal on the Krsko nuclear power plant between Croatia and Slovenia, Tomcic said that at this moment the chance for ratification of the agreement had passed because the HSLS (Social Liberals) "obstructed the quorum". However, this does not mean that it failed definitely, Tomcic said. We shall see what will happen in the next few days, he said. Tomcic announced a session of the HSS Presidency for Tuesday, at which the party would discuss the new political circumstances. (hina) lml sb
