SLOVENE PREMIER SAYS KRSKO DEAL REQUIRES SUMMARY SUPPLEMENT

LJUBLJANA, July 3 (Hina) - Slovenia's Prime Minister Janez Drnovsek on Wednesday stated that the ratification of the agreement on the Krsko nuclear power plant in the Croatian parliament was not sufficient to ensure that it is not violated. #L# The Croatian parliament did not ratify the agreement by the deadline of July 1, and so the ratification is not enough. We will need to further supplement and harmonise the agreement, Drnovsek told journalists. Most reactions in Slovenia to the majority backing in the Croatian parliament to Prime Minister Ivica Racan on ratifying the agreement was welcome, with a dose of surprise, particularly since there were announcements that Racan was going to resign and the implications that this could have had on relations between Ljubljana and Zagreb. State Secretary Robert Golob stated that the ratification in the Croatian parliament was taken to be an expression that Croatia would continue to take account of the provisions that were the basis to the signing of the agreement over a year ago, and that Croatia would withdraw its suit for the four years of electrical power it was not delivered. The Slovene Constitutional Court will propably consider the initiative to proclaim some articles as unconstitutional in the autumn, prior to preparations for local and presidential elections scheduled for mid-November in Slovenia.
