Jansa said the conclusions adopted by the EU leaders today, with regard to enlargement to Croatia, confirmed the importance of its developing good neighbourly relations, implementing binding treaties, and continuing to solve all outstanding and regional issues, including succession to the former Yugoslavia.
Jansa said this meant that all successor countries must honour the 2001 succession treaty.
"As I've already said, Slovenia expects nothing else but that we all stick to what we agreed. If that happens, the ratification of the Accession Treaty won't be a problem."
Jansa said that if the mandate of the Slovenian negotiator for the Ljubljanska Banka issue, France Arhar, was indeed extended for the entire 2013, this did not mean that a solution will not be found earlier, before the envisaged date for Croatia's EU entry. He said the bank issue could already have been solved.
