SLOVENE PARLIAMENT POSTPONES RATIFICATION OF AGREEMENT WITH CRO

( Editorial: --> 6792 ) LJUBLJANA, May 26 (Hina) - The Slovene Parliament on Tuesday postponed the debate on the ratification of an agreement of local border traffic and cooperation with Croatia because some parties expressed concern that the agreement prejudged the issue of the state border which, according to them, is not defined well enough. The Croatian parliament has already ratified that agreement. The Slovene Foreign Minister, Boris Frlec, told Slovene television he expected the agreement would nevertheless soon be ratified. He said that according to agreement on local border traffic, the matter of determining the state border would be solved with another agreement. Frlec said it was expected that some other unsolved issues between Slovenia and Croatia would be solved by autumn. (hina) jn bag/ha 271526 MET may 98
