ZAGREB, Aug 27 (Hina) - The Croatian Defence Ministry was not informed about this week's joint military exercise of the US and Slovene navies in Kopar Bay, northern Adriatic, the Ministry's public relations office said in a statement
on Monday. The media have reported that the exercise will include one US and Slovene navy ship each as well as a joint exercise in shooting and maritime traffic control. The reports have caused protests both in Croatia and Slovenia, including Istria County prefect Ivan Jakovcic, due to the fact that favourable tourist arrangements have been announced for the northern Adriatic in late August.(hina) sb rml
