The Republic of Croatia suggests that such practice be stepped out of in order to solve these issues. As countries with mature democracies, let us use the instruments that many other countries have used, e.g. the United States, Canada, Denmark, and others.
Since bilateral talks have failed to yield a solution that would satisfy both sides, the Republic of Croatia suggests that the matter be taken to an international legal body that would with its verdict close this chapter in our relations, providing, of course, both sides agree beforehand to accept it. The Republic of Croatia is willing to assume that responsibility and suggests that the Republic of Slovenia considers our proposal.
