Also, we can look forward to the day when cross-border customs procedures, which deter integration, are seen as a temporary abberation, in between the days of Yugoslavia and full membership of all the former Yugoslav countries in the EU.

You mean the companies that were build not only by Slovenes but by other citizens living in Titos Yugoslavia too, and on a whole country communist directive where to build those companies and how to do it.
So much for public property.
Slovenes were the first to make deals with countries of other republics in making a lot of profit and of course reviving the war torn economies and helping others to get closer to EU :-).
I thing we should play this game by blaming each other but by cooperating.
In the case os Slovene investments it actually means buying (again)the former subsidiaries of the Slovene companies which were illegaly confiscated by the Serbs and the Croats during the break-up. Croatia is also using its acqusitions as a means to political (and territorial) gains and is precluding the Slovene companies from acquiring anything of value on its own territory.
So much for fair and open trade an a new era in the relations.

Good to see economic integration in the Balkans. Looks like wealth and prosperity will return to this part of the world sooner than we thought.
