MARIBOR, May 31 (Hina) - As of 2004, European Union citizens will be able to buy real estate in Croatia. This includes Slovenes as it is believed that Slovenia could join the EU by that time, the chief Slovene negotiator with the EU,
Janez Potocnik, said at a lecture in Maribor on Wednesday. Croatian citizens will not be able to buy houses and land in Slovenia until Croatia is admitted to the EU or the two countries sign a bilateral contract on reciprocity, he said. Slovene real estate agencies say there is a significant interest among wealthy Slovenes in buying real estate in Croatia, especially in Istria and Dalmatia, because prices on the Slovene Adriatic coast have been on the rise due to Slovenia's rapprochement with the EU.(hina) sb rml
