No Agreement Yet on Zone Meeting, Rupel Says

Ljubljana, 12 October - Foreign Minister Dimitrij Rupel said in Ljubljana on Friday that no agreement had been achieved yet on talks between Slovenia, Italy and Croatia over the latter's plan to implement its ecological and fisheries zone for EU member states on 1 January 2008. He added that it "was crucial that the election campaign passes in Croatia, as it will be much easier to talk then".
