ZAGREB, Feb 12 (Hina) - Croatian and Slovene economy ministers, Nenad Porges and Metod Dragonja, will hold talks on nuclear waste management and dismantling of the jointly-owned nuclear plant of Krsko (NEK) in Zagreb on Friday night.
In principle, Croatia should offer to take over part of the used fuel from the power plant, Porges told Hina ahead of the talks. The Croatian Minister however does not yet have a mandate to offer the real take over of the waste. Porges said that a temporary solution was a joint location for waste management in the NEK premises, and added both sides were to seek for a permanent one. "We would not gladly accept the idea of taking over 'our half' with the Slovene share remaining at the joint location," Porges said.
