"The latest proposal is in line with previous Slovene proposals. It only proves that it is obviously impossible to reach an agreement, because our positions on the matter are quite different. Therefore it would be best for an international court, the International Court of Justice in The Hague, to take over the case and make a decision. We will agree to any decision by the Court," President Mesic said during a visit to the eastern town of Pozega on Tuesday.
Drnovsek proposed on Sunday that the two countries take as a temporary solution to their border dispute an agreement proposing that the land border run along the line as stipulated in the 2001 agreement initialled by Drnovsek and former Croatian prime minister Ivica Racan. Under that agreement, Slovenia would get 80 percent of Savudrija Bay and its access to the high seas would not be defined so as to prevent incidents in the bay.
