SLOVENIA CLAIMS BORDER DISPUTE BASED ON INDIVIDUAL REQUESTS

( Editorial: --> 4201 ) LJUBLJANA, Aug 17 (Hina) - Ljubljana has confirmed that next week's meeting of the Croatian and Slovene Foreign Ministers will discuss recent disputes over the Krsko nuclear power plant and the unilateral awarding of Slovene house numbers to Croatian hamlets south of the Dragonja river. Slovene Foreign Ministry state secretary Franco Juri told Slovene Radio on Monday that the place for the August 25 meeting of Croatia's Mate Granic and Slovenia's Boris Frlec had not yet been determined, but that both Zagreb and Ljubljana were still discussing it. Juri said his ministry was preparing special material for the announced meeting on the issue of the four hamlets on the Croatian side of the Dragonja. He said this area was "the subject of negotiations by the mixed diplomatic commission for borders", and that it was not known on whose territory they were located. Juri claimed that the allocation of Slovene house numbers by the Slovene Geodetic Administration was carried out individually, on the wishes of those who had submitted requests.
