Luxembourg, 31 January - The EU Court of Justice has decided that a lawsuit Slovenia has brought against Croatia over its refusal to implement the 2017 border arbitration award is inadmissible, but it said Friday that both countries had to endeavour to resolve the dispute in accordance with international law. Slovenia sees this as a vindication of its policy.
