Because of his criticism of Kosor's government and claims that he left office six months ago because he was unwilling to trade Croatian territory, Slovenian media emphasised that Sanader's return to power could imperil the arbitration agreement regarding the border dispute between Croatia and Slovenia, which was signed in early November.
Zbog njegovog kritikovanja vlade Jadranke Kosor i tvrdnji da je otišao sa funkcije pre šest meseci jer nije bio voljan da trguje teritorijom Hrvatske, slovenački mediji su naglasili da bi Sanaderov povratak na vlast mogao da ugrozi arbitražni sporazum vezan za granični spor između Hrvatske i Slovenije, koji je potpisan početkom novembra.
