MARIBOR, Jan 14 (Hina) - The Slovene government will stick to the ratified text of the inter-border agreement with Croatia, and wait until Croatia reaches a consensus on the issue, Slovene Premier Janez Drnovsek told Slovene diplomats
in Maribor Monday. "We are finished with this issue, and the European Commission says the same in its reports on our relations with Croatia", Drnovsek said. He excluded a possibility of additional negotiations on the sea frontier or arbitration, and added that withholding the signatures on the agreement, ratified by Premier Ivica Racan and adopted by the government, could put the credibility of the Croatian government into question.(hina) np sb
