Slovenia sees EU Court ruling as vindication of its position

Ljubljana/Luxembourg/Brdo pri Kranju, 31 January - While the EU Court of Justice did not admit Slovenia's lawsuit against Croatia over its refusal to implement the award handed down by the border arbitration tribunal, Slovenia feels vindicated. Foreign Minister Miro Cerar said the ruling showed the court saw the border arbitration award as "valid and binding," which was an important goal.
