Croatia's EU membership mean that crossing the border will be much easier and simpler, and security will be stepped up too, he told Radio Ognjisce, as carried by the Slovenian news agency STA on Thursday.
Pahor also commented on the time when he as prime minister and the then Croatian PM Jadranka Kosor solved the border dispute because of which Slovenia had been blocking Croatia's EU accession negotiations.
Pahor said he was very happy with what he achieved at that time, but that regulating the relations with Croatia was an exhausting experience that he would not like to repeat itself.
Regarding the Ljubljanska Banka issue and the foreign currency savings in it at the time of the former Yugoslavia, Pahor said he was concerned about the possibility of EU courts defining this as a civil matter between the bank and its depositors and not as a succession issue to the former federation, as understood by Slovenia.
If the matter was treated as a relationship between the bank and the depositors, and not as an issue that has to be solved by the successor states, this would represent a "dramatic" financial bite for Slovenia, said Pahor.
