President Mesic To Meet Slovene Counterpart Tuerk on Friday in Slovenia
Zagreb, January 30 (CP) – President Stjepan Mesic will be meeting with his Slovene opposite number Danilo Tuerk on Friday in the Slovene town of Crnomelj.
This will be the first meeting of the two presidents’ since Tuerk assumed office in November 2007. The meeting is said to be of an unofficial nature, but the two are expected to discuss an array of unresolved issues with a special emphasis on the Protected Ecology and Fisheries Belt (ZERP) that Croatia had implemented as of January 1, 2008 and Italy and Slovenia had implemented earlier.
The relations between Croatia and Slovenia have been strained of late due to Croatia implementing its Protected Ecology and Fisheries Belt in the Adriatic which prevents EU members fishing within it, which they had been doing up until now and in that way depleting the Belt of fish more rapidly due to their high tech fishing fleets.
