Slovenia News (30 August 2005)

The government adopted a bill on the declaration of a protective ecological zone and continental shelf in the Adriatic. The bill defines Slovenia as a successor to the 1968 agreement between Italy and the former Yugoslavia, giving it the right to protect its own interests in the continental shelf by declaring an ecological zone. Maybe this is the way to resolve the dispute over the border. The Slovenian Government has adopted a proposal for the simplification of the visa procedure for short tourist visits to Slovenia. The relaxation of the visa regime relates to transactions with authorised travel agents for tourists coming to Slovenia for short visits and applies to citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Russia, Turkey and Serbia and Montenegro.
