ZAGREB, Aug 13 (Hina) - Croatia's Foreign Ministry on Tuesday
forwarded a strong protest to the Slovenian Embassy in Zagreb about
last Saturday's and today's "new provocative arrivals" of
Slovenian fishing boats in the Croatian territorial waters. #L#
A statement the ministry issued, stresses that until the
establishment of the border between the two countries, the UN
Convention on the Law on the Sea is applied, under which the medium
line, i.e. the line on the middle of the Bay of Piran, is regarded as
the demarcation line.
According to a statement the Istrian County Police released, five
Slovenian fishing boats, which on Tuesday morning crossed that
medium line in the bay, left the Croatian territorial water at about
02.00 pm Tuesday.
