Following its consultations with relevant institutions and a public debate, Slovenia's agriculture and environment ministry assesses that the project of the new power plant in the Croatian town of Plomin will probably have no significant effects on the environment, and therefore Slovenia gives its go-ahead to the project.

Slovenia's opinion, elaborated in the statement, has been given in compliance with the Espoo Convention, which sets out the obligations of parties to assess the environmental impact of certain activities at an early stage of planning and it also lays down the general obligation of states to notify and consult each other on all major projects under consideration that are likely to have a significant environmental impact across borders.

According to the embassy's statement, the consent given for this project, of great importance for Croatia, also proves good neighbourly relations and exemplary cooperation regarding environmental impact across the border.
