SLOVENE PROFESSOR: JORAS' PROVOCATION CAN ONLY HARM SLOVENIA

Autor: ;MSES;
LJUBLJANA, Sept 7 (Hina) - The Joras case and its internationalisation will be of no use to Slovenia, and it will cold the relations with Croatia more than the fishing incidents in Piran Bay do, a Slovene university professor, Janez Smidovnik wrote in his comment piece published in Saturday's issue of the "Delo" daily.
LJUBLJANA, Sept 7 (Hina) - The Joras case and its internationalisation will be of no use to Slovenia, and it will cold the relations with Croatia more than the fishing incidents in Piran Bay do, a Slovene university professor, Janez Smidovnik wrote in his comment piece published in Saturday's issue of the "Delo" daily. #L# Smidovnik, an outstanding expert for public administration and the 2001 winner of the national award for his contribution to the development of that field, refutes "disputability" of the border line along the Dragonja river, and points out the negative effects of the Joras case, in the article headlined "Is Josko Jorac Fighter for the Slovene Border or Stool-Pigeon?". Smidovnik says that Slovenia, just as Croatia, cited "the border between the Republic of Slovenia and the Republic of Croatia within the SFRY (Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia)" in its acts pertaining to the independence following the collapse of the former Yugoslav federation. The retired professor adds that Slovenia has never had jurisdiction south of the Dragonja river. In the contentious hamlets along the Dragonja, Croatian organs, and never Slovenian, were the authorities as long at the SFRY existed, and it is not possible to change this fact but it should rather be taken into account during attempts to establish the definite demarcation line between the two countries. In that case Josko Joras can harm rather than be of use to Slovenia," he wrote. "The internationalisation of the Joras Case in the Council of Europe, which Slovene Foreign Minister started, will be of no benefit for bids to define the border on the Dragonja, but it will cold the relations with Croatia more than the fishing incidents will. To call Croatian officials on talks in order to defuse the situation in Piran Bay, and at the same time tell tales about Croatia in Strasbourg can only insult Zagreb," Smidovnik added. Thus, the professor refutes clams of the Slovene Foreign Minister, Dimitrij Rupel, who on Friday wrote to his Croatian counterpart Tonino Picula that since the end of the Second World War Slovenia had had sovereignty on over 100 hectares of land south of the Dragonja. Smidovnik reminds that in 1994, following an energetic protest of Zagreb, the Slovene parliament was forced to annul its "paper annexation" of the Buzini, Skudelini and Skrilje hamlets that had been included into the municipality of Piran and was also forced to introduce moderate formulation and agree that the provision in question would remain in force until Ljubljana and Zagreb reach an interstate agreement on the border.
