    Nearly missed this piece of news, the border dispute has been a major hurdle standing in the way of Croatia completing its talks on joining the EU.

    ZAGREB (Reuters) - The Croatian parliament backed a border arbitration agreement with Slovenia on Monday, helping Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor's efforts to lift a major obstacle to Croatia's European Union bid.

    EU member Slovenia blocked Croatia's EU talks last December because of unresolved borders. In September, it lifted a veto and allowed Zagreb to resume membership talks after the two prime ministers agreed to resort to international arbitration.

    Croatia hopes to wrap up the EU talks next year, but Slovenia has indicated it is ready to veto Croatia's progress again unless the arbitration agreement is signed soon.

    Hmm. I hope letting the Balkan states in has the desired positive outcome.

    cordially,
