"I am in favour of Croatia’s membership of the European Union, but it should not be at the expense of Slovenia’s national interests. I am talking, of course, about the border dispute between Slovenia and Croatia. This is not merely an abstract concept; it is one that affects people’s lives.
Here in Strasbourg, the European Parliament has called on the Slovene Parliament to ratify the arbitration agreement as soon as possible. That of course constitutes interference with the competence of the Slovene Parliament. Secondly, I wonder if anyone has asked themselves the question as to why it is that Slovenia has not ratified this agreement already. What I would say on that point is that, in August 2007, all the parliamentary groups said that any solution must be in line with the principle of equity.
Naturally, I also wonder why it is that anyone at all should have any objections to this principle. And yet, this principle has not been enshrined in the arbitration agreement. I have therefore voted against the motion for a resolution because it does not reflect this principle."@en1
