But that was not an obstacle to Spain's EEC accession.

Lots of problems that existed before 1986 have been solved by EEC accession.

The closest analogues to the situation between Slovenia and Croatia are Spain's territorial disputes with the UK over Gibraltar and with Portugal over Olivenza. Neither of the two were an obstacle to accession, neither has been resolved, and neither is a problem.

You might want to make parallels where there actually is a parallel.

You misunderstood me.We were talking about Irredentist/separatist tendencies on Balkan and change of the borders.You said there will be no accession to EU soon.I just wanted to say that I don't see it as a way to solve those tendencies...Cause they are present in the countries that are already in EU ( like Spain).
