Successors to Former Yugoslavia to Continue Negotiations in Ljubljana

Ljubljana, 19 February - A fresh round of negotiations on the succession to former Yugoslavia will open in Ljubljana on Wednesday, 21 February. Representatives of all five successor countries of the former common state will attend the three-day meeting, which will be led by international mediator Sir Arthur Watts. After almost two years of deadlock, the negotiators sat down at the table for the first time last December in Brussels in an attempt to reach an agreement on how to continue negotiations. This time, substantial issues will be discussed.
