The Presidency Trio (Czech Republic, France, Sweden) and EU Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn met on Wednesday, April 22nd with their Slovene and Croatian partners to take stock of the situation concerning the stalemate in the EU accession negotiations with Croatia resulting from the border dispute between Slovenia and Croatia.

The Trio expressed its full support for the ongoing efforts of the Commissioner to find an overall solution to the situation and a strong conviction that agreement allowing to proceed with the negotiations is now within reach. It urged both parties to act constructively in this decisive stage in an expectation of a definitive positive answer to the Commissioner´s initiative as soon as possible. A continued joint EU approach to encourage both parties to this end remains crucial.
