If It Were Not for Ljubljana, Croatia Would Be Close to Attaining Its Goal

Speaking at the Days of Croatian Diplomacy event, the Foreign Minister Gordan Jandrokovic has stated that if the Slovene blockade of Croatia's EU negotiations was not in place, Croatia would have by the end of the Czech turn of being at the EU presidency helm opened 31 negotiation chapters and closed 17. Jandrokovic said that Slovenia's blockade was unfair and should be lifted immediately. He added that since the EU has no mechanisms that would help resolve the issue of the Slovene blockade Croatia is to continue talks with Slovenia and the EU with a new meeting being held next week.
