“…A third-party mediator can also be of assistance at this stage (see fig. 4 above) when the parties need to agree on the contents of the submission to the Court/Tribunal, which may be just as protracted on key points as a full bilateral settlement (as was the case with Croatia/Slovenia; see Cataldi, 2013;Bickl, 2021a, pp. 163-179;interview Miloš Hrnjaz, 29-09-2021).…”

This single-case study seeks to provide an in-depth analysis of the territorial‎ dispute between the Republic of Croatia and the Republic of Serbia over the ‎State border along the Danube. The research article will look into the historical ‎roots of the conflict and its current context of the EU accession process‎ of Serbia addressing (i) the dispute in substance, e.g. the positions of Serbia‎ and Croatia, (ii) available dispute settlement tools – bilateral (with or without ‎third-party mediation) or third-party judicial, and (iii) delimitation scenarios ‎of the Danube border both in the bilateral mode and in the light of the jurisprudence‎ of international courts and tribunals. The study demonstrates that it‎ does indeed take some political will to overcome the protracted conflict, and ‎addresses the related focal points. The article is based on interviews, internal ‎documents, decisions of international courts and tribunals, and secondary literature.‎

“…The experience with the still ongoing dispute between Croatia and Slovenia over their maritime border in the Bay of Piran which has received solid coverage in the related literature (Bickl 2017;Cataldi 2013;Geddes and Taylor 2016) is very telling. Although the two countries agreed in November 2009 (after Slovenia blocked Croatia's accession negotiations in December 2008) to send the case to international arbitration (Geddes and Taylor 2016, 939), Croatia refused to accept the June 2017 ruling of the Arbitration Tribunal in the Hague which largely favoured Slovenia's request for the vast majority of the Bay and a corridor to international waters (Nielsen 2017).…”

Although the European Union pledges to 'maintain [and reaffirm] the credible enlargement perspective for the Western Balkans,' (European Commission, 2018), some of the new requirements which it demands the Western Balkan candidate states to meet in order to gain membership seem to be very demanding for the political leaderships of these states. This is particularly the case for the requirement that candidate states solve all their 'bilateral disputes…as a matter of urgency'. While Montenegro hopes to solve its only remaining (though nearly thirty year old) dispute with Croatia over their maritime border sometime soon, the second regional frontrunner for EU membership, Serbia, and the other remaining Western Balkan states (with the partial exception of Albania) have many more (and more serious) problems to resolve with their neighbours. This article discusses the nature and origins of problems in several most complex bilateral relationships in the Western Balkans and critically assesses the difficulty these problems pose for the Western Balkan states' accession to the EU.
