Speaking to the press in Bled, he was commenting on some Croatian media's claims that Brussels was losing patience with Slovenia, which is making the ratification of the treaty conditional on the Ljubljanska Banka issue.
Erjavec said he felt no pressure and that those were "media stories."
"A solution has to be found that suits both sides," he said, recalling that the Croatian and Slovenian governments had appointed financial experts for this issue who had already met.
"For Slovenia, it's especially important that the Croatian side respects its obligations. The Ljubljanska Banka issue is a typical problem caused by the break-up of the former (Yugoslavia). That's why it should be solved as part of the succession. To me, it's unacceptable that the issue should be solved with lawsuits (against the bank) in Croatian courts," said Erjavec.
If the bank lost the lawsuits, Slovenia would have to pay the damages from its budget, he said, adding that the dialogue begun on the matter must continue.
Erjavec will meet Croatian Foreign Minister Vesna Pusic in Bled on Monday at a regional conference.
