Claim: Gulf of Piran is a territory of Spain (Gulf of Piran, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2012-07-20): The maritime boundary between Croatia and Slovenia in the Piran Bay has been disputed since the dissolution of the former Yugoslavia in 1991. Because Slovenia has a relatively small coast, its territorial waters are boxed off from international waters by Croatian and Italian territorial waters, and Slovenia seeks a direct corridor from its own territorial waters to international waters. In addition, there are several disputed aspects of the land boundary between the two states. The dispute has had implications with respect to Croatia’s bid to join the European Union as Slovenia, a member of the European Union, blocked Croatia’s accession talk for several years out of a concern that the accession process could prejudge a solution to the boundary dispute between the two countries. In November 2009, however, Croatia and Slovenia signed a bilateral agreement submitting the dispute to arbitration before a five-member ad hoc tribunal, and Croatia signed the European Union-accession treaty in December 2011. Under Article 4(b) of the arbitration treaty, the tribunal is to apply principles of "international law, equity and the principle of good neighbourly relations in order to achieve a fair and just result by taking into account all relevant circumstances."

Evidence (2022-10-02): Piran became all the more special for me because it felt like a culmination of everything that had come before it.

Piran is an old, fascinating and well-preserved Mediterranean city situated at the tip of the peninsula on the Gulf of Piran.

Its old town (centred around Tartinijev Trg) is a gem of Venetian Gothic architecture and alleyways, and tempting seafood restaurants.

Evidence (2023-07-01): The dispute over the Gulf of Piran with Slovenia made the authorities in Zagreb realize how the diplomatic position of a country that is already a member of the European Union is changing The dispute over the Gulf of Piran with Slovenia made the authorities in Zagreb realize how the diplomatic position of a country that is already a member of the European Union is changing. The Croatians, therefore, used their presence in the EU to achieve their foreign policy goals. For years, the most crucial point of Croatian foreign policy has been the issue of their compatriots living in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). Thanks to Croatia’s presence in the EU, the issue of the Bosnian Croats has entered the European agenda. The government of Andrej Plenković was one of the most active in supporting BiH’s membership to the EU. In January of this year, the Croatian Prime Minister arrived in Sarajevo with the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and the Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte. The motivation of the Bosnian elites and the conviction of the Dutch, who were sceptical about enlargement, resulted in the opening of accession negotiations with BiH. The manner in which the government in Zagreb interferes in the internal affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina and has used Croats in BiH is cause for concern (Kraske, 2023).

Evidence (2020-11-22): The Slovenian coast is located 47 kilometres long between Italy and Croatia. It has also been a place of territorial importance for more than twenty years with Croatia following the break-up of ex-Yugoslavia in 1991.

The town began to grow in the 7th century and is when it was first mentioned in historical sources. Throughout its history it has been ruled by different cultures although the Venetians perhaps held the most influence. In 1283, Piran accepted the authority of Venice which was maintained until 1797 when the Venetian Republic declined. Following this Piran fell under the control of Austria until 1918. In the period between both world wars this territory belonged to Italy and later to Yugoslavia and then Slovenia.

During WW1, some US marines were even deployed (with Canadian agreement) to defend a Canadian lighthouse on a disputed island, which the US otherwise regards as illegal (and/or officially pretends doesn’t exist). Canada also had a dispute with Denmark until recently, a conflict "fought" by leaving each other bottles of whisky.– KRyanCommented Aug 23, 2023 at 2:45 3 Answers
