Croatia and Slovenia are working on the preparation of the diplomatic notes on the ratification of a bilateral border arbitration agreement. The procedure is expected to be finalised soon. Croatian foreign ministry spokesman Mario Dragun said that this was a standard procedure of exchanging diplomatic notes in order to complete and enact the arbitration agreement. We note that Slovenia held a referendum on the arbitration agreement on the border issue between Croatia and Slovenia on June 6 and the preliminary results showed that voters supported the deal. From the counted 99% votes, 51.48% were in favor of the agreement, while 48.52% were against it. About 1.7mn eligible voters had the opportunity to confirm or reject the deal already ratified by the parliaments of the two countries. The turnout was over 42.28%. The results of the referendum were crucial for the ratification of the agreement by the Slovene parliament. At end-April Slovenia's main opposition party SDS called for rejection of the arbitration agreement.
