The Croatian Ministry pointed to the frequent unauthorised entry of
Slovenian fishing boats into sea space of the Republic of Croatia in
the Bay of Piran.
In the statement the Ministry adds that the relevant bodies in
Slovenia should caution Slovenian fishermen not to enter this area
and that they adhere to Article 15 of the UN Convention of Sea Rights
and as such, not to cross the line along the middle of the Bay.
