Map showing a diplomatic dispute resulting from Slovenia's desire to obtain a direct corridor from its own territorial waters to international waters, to avoid the necessity of Slovenian ships having to sail through the territorial waters of any other country to get to the high seas. Slovenia's only seacoast is in the Bay of Piran / Gulf of Trieste (as shown in this map), and its only commercial seaport is Capodistria / Koper (the eastern of the two red dots in Slovenia on this map), while Italy and Croatia both have long seacoasts outside the area shown in this map.
Slovenia's claim to the area labelled with green text, and the existence of a corridor to international waters, would have been allowed by Croatia under the Drnovšek-Račan agreement, but this was never ratified by Croatia.
