"When it comes to foreign policy, it's important to speak with one voice," he told reporters.
Pahor said it was his understanding that parliament would give its approval to the government to submit Slovenia's arbitration pleading in time, but that it would also adopt a statement moved by the parliamentary foreign affairs committee.
The statement contains Slovenia's expectations of the arbitration, one of which is that it should get territorial access to the high seas. If the arbitration does not uphold this, Slovenia believes the arbitration will not have met its task, since this is its obligation under the arbitration agreement.
Pahor also expects success from the diplomatic efforts regarding the conditions Slovenia has set for the ratification of Croatia's EU accession treaty, namely the issue of the now defunct Ljubljanska Bank.
He said a swift solution could be reached "within the succession framework" by applying the Vienna convention on succession to the former Yugoslavia, namely by incorporating into the framework a Croatian-Slovenian agreement to solve the issue "in an appropriate manner."
If the appointed experts and the ministers find a solution and if it is then approved by the prime ministers, Slovenian MPs would no longer have reservations about the ratification, said Pahor.
