| Slovenia sets June 6 referendum on Croatia border deal |
| Ljubljana, 04.05.2010 |
|
| Slovenians will vote in a referendum on June 6 whether to back a deal with Croatia to allow an arbitration panel to settle a long-running border dispute, parliament decided unanimously Monday.
The governments of Slovenia and Croatia agreed in November that an arbitration panel should decide on a small piece of land and sea disputed by the two former Yugoslav states for the past 18 years.
The Slovenian parliament ratified the deal last month but the ruling coalition and the opposition agreed to hold a referendum on the issue that is seen by most Slovenians as crucial for the country's interests.
Under the terms of the deal, the arbitration panel's ruling on the matter will be legally binding.
In terms of Slovenian law, if voters reject the deal at the referendum, the parliament has to reconsider the bill.
The centre-right opposition believes the deal is harmful for Slovenia's interests and hopes it will be rejected at the referendum.
The issue has stalled Zagreb's negotiations to join the European Union.
The Croatian parliament ratified the deal in November.
