Slovenian Foreign Minister Karl Erjavec said on Thursday evening that even in the event of his resignation he would personally do everything to find a solution to the issue with Croatia involving the Ljubljanska Banka, which would enable Slovenia to ratify Croatia's EU Accession Treaty in time for Croatia to join the bloc on 1 July.
"The only condition Slovenia is setting is the withdrawal of lawsuits against the Ljubljanska Banka before Croatian courts," Erjavec told Slovenian Television.
If a solution to the Ljubljanska Banka issue is not found, not only would Croatia not enter the European Union on 1 July, but Croatia's EU membership could become questionable all together, given the situation in the EU to which enlargement is not a priority at the moment, Erjavec said.
