Deputy Prime Minister for European Affairs Alexandr Vondra represented the Council of the EU at the plenary session of the European Parliament in Strasbourg today. At the press conference he presented the position of the Presidency on the latest developments in the border dispute between Slovenia and Croatia.
“We welcome the fact that both Slovenia and Croatia have now agreed to pursue their work on the initiative of the Commissioner O.Rehn concerning the border dispute. We fully support this initiative, although we are concerned, that it has not generated any fruitful outcome yet regarding the specific terms of facilitation."
“We note that the time is running out and the Presidency is keen to ensure concrete progress in the negotiations based on the work already done.
