The Slovenian president denies the redesign of the borders in the Balkans

The President of Slovenia categorically denied today that there is an intention to redesign the borders of the countries of the former Yugoslavia, one day after the publication in the press of a plan (non-paper) attributed to the Prime Minister of the country, Janez Jansa and which suggests, among other things, the dissolution of Bosnia.

“I did not have and I have no knowledge of this document”, President Borut Pahor stressed in a press conference he gave to Ljubljana.

This “unofficial document” was published on Thursday by the Necenzurirano website. Jansa reportedly submitted it to European Council President Charles Michel in February and is proposing a review of the way the former Yugoslavia was dismembered after the 1990s wars.

“I categorically reject any change of borders (in the region) because I do not believe that such a thing could be achieved peacefully,” Pahor said, asking Jansa to give a public explanation.

The prime minister has only responded via Twitter. He said he had not met with Michelle recently, but did not formally deny the existence of the document.

“Slovenia is seeking a solution for the development of the region and the European perspective for the countries of the Western Balkans,” the conservative prime minister wrote. Jansa wants to host a summit on the Western Balkans after his country takes over the rotating EU presidency in July.
