Slovenia blocks EU Croatia talks over fishing dispute

Slovenia is blocking the opening of talks on a new chapter of EU legislation with Croatia due to a fishing dispute.

According to a report by Austrian news agency APA, the Slovene foreign ministry confirmed it has not given the green light for the EU to open the next chapter of legislation up for negotiation - on fisheries.

Under EU rules each member state has to agree to both opening and closing of a chapter of legislation - with a refusal by one, blocking the whole process.
