BUDAPEST/LJUBLJANA, Aug 26 (Hina) - Slovene Foreign Minister Ivo
Vajgl said on Thursday he did not wish to continue with the polemic caused in
Croatia by his statement that Croatia and Slovenia did not have a final sea or
land border until the two countries agreed on that. He, however, stressed, he
stuck by his statement.The Badinter Commission decided that former Yugoslav republic borders
become new state borders, but it said that successor countries must agree on
that, Vajgl told Slovenia's commercial tv station POP TV in a phone interview
during a visit to Budapest.
Vajgl said this in reaction to the statements by former Croatian foreign
ministers Mate Granic and Tonino Picula who said that in line with the
decision by the Badinter Commission, former Yugoslav republic borders became
new state borders.
