Slovenia continues to construct fence on the border with Croatia, and occasionally even crosses the border.

The border fence which Slovenian authorities are constructing on the border with Croatia next to the Čabranka river has caused unrest among local population, especially in villages of Plešce and Zamost. While the river represents the border between the two countries for the most part, in that area Croatia has about 10 hectares of land on the other side of the river, reports dnevnik.hr on November 20, 2016.

“We are completely against the fence. Slovenia and Croatia should finally solve their problems, so that we who live here do not have to suffer”, said Leonard Vesel.

“I think that this territory here has not been agreed by Croatia and Slovenia. They should do it, if they have decided to build a border fence. They should construct it on their own land, and not on Croatian territory”, said Branko Kovač from Zamost. He and other residents of Zamost must carry identification documents when they go to visit their own plots of land. “If we want to go there, we have to cross the Slovenian border”, he said.
