<div id="ygrps-yiv-1516363770">I&#39;d like to take up the hrsi maritime boundary discussion, which more <br/>
or less bogged down because of lack of official confirmation of the <br/>
situation (and, I should add, not knowing whether the treaty has been <br/>
ratified by the Croatian parliament, which was uncertain as well). <br/>
Now I have come across a bit of text at <br/>
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.gzs.si/eng/news/sbw/head.asp?idc=8214">http://www.gzs.si/eng/news/sbw/head.asp?idc=8214</a> , where the corridor <br/>
that has been created is equalled to something I think looks a lot <br/>
like a genuine high seas area! And this is a territory which would <br/>
normally fall within the territorial sea limit of a country!<br/>
<br/>
So my assumption at the time that the corridor is part of the <br/>
Slovenian territorial waters, or something similar to them, is <br/>
definitely wrong here. The corridor borders on the Slovenian terr. <br/>
waters, the Croatian terr. waters both adjacent to the Croatian <br/>
coastline and the exclave, and the Croatian EEZ (and, through the <br/>
point enigmatically named toèka, or taèka, T5, i.e. &quot;point no. 5&quot;, on <br/>
the Italian EEZ). So it looks a bit like we&#39;re not having just a <br/>
Croatian territorial water exclave here, but an everyman&#39;s sea <br/>
exclave as well, and very close to shore!<br/>
<br/>
Did anybody get some additional info on the subject lately (like the <br/>
text of the treaty and/or it&#39;s current status)?<br/>

Yugoslavia is adhered to (and it&#39;s marked on the map, as a <br/>
continuation of the Italian territorial seas border line). So at &quot;my&quot; <br/>

Yes, but one Croatia is terr. waters; the other one is EEZ. Not less <br/>
interesting, of course. Still, I am not really 100% convinced of the <br/>
Slovenian corridor having exactly the same status as the &quot;normal&quot; <br/>
terr. waters of Slovenia. There might be something &quot;under the water&quot; <br/>
still. In other words: I&#39;d love to see the text of the treaty! (don&#39;t <br/>
we all)<br/>
