LJUBLJANA, July 6 (Hina) - The Slovene government is interested in ratifying a cross-border trade and cooperation agreement with Croatia, however, it is even more interested in negotiations on the border, which are in process, Foreign
Minister Dimitrij Rupel told Ljubljana's daily "Delo" on Friday. "The cross-border agreement is included in the agenda of the parliament's session. We expect the parliament to ratify it, but it is not important when. At the moment the government is occupied with negotiations on the border with Croatia and I am more interested in this than in the date the parliament will ratify the cross border agreement," Rupel told the daily. Rupel dismissed allegations that the government was timing the inclusion and exclusion of the agreement off the agenda to let Croatia know the agreement was a "hole card" in the negotiations on the border.(hina) it
