"Today we have agreed on certain principles on a temporary sea
regime in the realisation of the Agreement on Local Border Traffic
and Cooperation," Racan told reporters after a two-hour talk with
his Slovene counterpart.
The talks were first held by the two prime ministers alone. They
were later joined by Croatian and Slovene delegations.
Racan said that either of the two sides could cancel the agreement
by diplomatic route.
He reiterated that Croatia stood firmly by the principle that a
final solution to the Croatia-Slovenia border issue should be
reached through arbitration. Drnovsek hopes the issue may be
settled with a bilateral agreement.
