Members of the Slovene parliamentary commission, led by Kramberger, on Wednesday visited the Sabor, where they met with the chairman of the Committee on Human and Minority Rights, Furio Radin, and Sabor Vice-President Vesna Pusic.
It is estimated that 500,000 Slovenes live outside their homeland.
Kramberger said that Croatian-Slovene relations were rather good and that Slovenia wanted to see Croatia join the EU as soon as possible.
Semso Tankovic, a member of the Sabor's Committee on Human and Minority Rights, who represents the Slovene minority among other minorities, said the Croatian government had taken a clear position that the Slovene minority should be cited again in the preamble of the Constitution when it was amended the next time.
Tankovic said that Slovenes, as an autochthonous minority in Croatia, should have their own representative in the Croatian parliament, and that the status of Croats living in Slovenia, who do not have minority status, should be defined.
The two sides said that according to the last censuses, the number of members of minority ethnic groups had been significantly reduced, and called for establishing the cause of that situation.
They also mentioned the possibility of introducing Slovene-language radio broadcasts as of this tourist season.
