Pahor says Slovenia has met its obligations from memorandum with Croatia

LJUBLJANA, Nov 13 (Hina) - Slovenian President Borut Pahor said in Ljubljana on Wednesday that Slovenia had fully complied with its obligations from a memorandum of understanding signed in Mokrice and called on Croatia to do the same, his office said in a press release.

Pahor made the statement in an informal talk with Croatian President Ivo Josipovic, who was in Slovenia at the invitation of former Slovenian President Danilo Tuerk to attend a book launch.

Josipovic informally met with Pahor for talks on bilateral relations and regional cooperation.

Pahor told Josipovic that he was asking Croatia to honour the memorandum signed by the two countries' prime ministers in March.

The memorandum agreed a moratorium on proceedings against Slovenia's Ljubljanska Banka in Croatian courts until the issue is finally solved, Pahor said, according to the press release.

It added that Pahor told Josipovic that Slovenia had fully met its obligations from the memorandum and that he disagreed with Croatia's interpretation of it because it prevented the suspension of the court proceedings until a final solution, as envisaged by the memorandum.

Croatian Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic said in the Croatian parliament today that when it came to the Ljubljanska Banka issue, he no longer saw anything contentious. He recalled that the dispute over the bank had been an obstacle to the ratification of Croatia's European Union accession treaty in the Slovenian parliament and that Croatia "was faced with silent obstruction which it successfully solved eventually."

"I don't see what's contentious here. There are some objections in the Slovenian public, but the Croatian side did everything it had to do. We even changed the Litigation Act because of that," Milanovic said.

According to the press release from Pahor's office, he and Josipovic confirmed genuine commitment to friendly neighbourly relations and said they expected the two governments to find a final solution to the Ljubljanska Banka issue in the spirit of the March memorandum and the treaty on succession to the former Yugoslavia.

Pahor and Josipovic also spoke of regional cooperation within the Brdo initiative and its next meeting in Croatia in April, as well as of their meeting with Austrian President Heinz Fischer in Vienna in March.
