State Secretary Marija Pejcinovic-Buric received delegation of Committee on EU Affairs of the Slovenian National Assembly

State Secretary for European Integration Marija Pejcinovic-Buric received on Wednesday, 23 May 2007, delegation of the Committee on EU Affairs of the National Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia, which was led by its president Anton Kokalj

During the meeting, State Secretary Pejcinovic-Buric expressed appreciation for the support of the Republic of Slovenia to Croatia's path to the EU and NATO full membership and she presented the current state of accession negotiations between the Republic of Croatia and the European Union as well as Croatia's expectations during the forthcoming period.

Both sides exchanged opinions on current European and bilateral issues and the President of the Committee on EU Affairs Kokalj presented Slovenia's preparations for its EU Presidency in the first half of 2008. President of the Committee Kokalj also pointed out that the further EU enlargement will be one of the priorities during Slovenia's EU Presidency.

Both sides came to a conclusion that it is of common interest not to let open bilateral issues between the two countries burden the course of accession negotiations and the dynamics of Croatia’s approach to EU full membership.
