Croatian Foreign Affairs and European Integration Minister Vesna Pusic on Monday met her Slovenian counterpart Karl Erjavec in Bled, on the margins of the international conference on the role of the European Union in changed global relations.
After the meeting, the two ministers are expected to address the press.
They are expected to discuss the issue of Ljubljanska Banka and the two countries' relations ahead of Croatia's EU entry, scheduled for 1 July 2013.
Erjavec on Sunday denied that there were pressures on Slovenia to ratify Croatia's Accession Treaty with the European Union as soon as possible.
Speaking to the press in Bled, he was commenting on some Croatian media's claims that Brussels was losing patience with Slovenia, which is making the ratification of the treaty conditional on the Ljubljanska Banka issue.
Erjavec said he felt no pressure and that those were "media stories."
"A solution has to be found that suits both sides," he said, recalling that the Croatian and Slovenian governments had appointed financial experts for this issue who had already met.
Pusic is also expected to hold talks with Montenegrin Foreign Minister Nebojsa Kaludjerovic, Kosovo Foreign Minister Enver Hoxhaj and the international community's High Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Valentin Inzko.
