Ljubljanska Banka

Ljubljana – The newspaper Delo says in Friday’s front-page commentary that Slovenia’s lost battles at the European Court of Justice are a defeat of the country as a whole, especially its diplomacy, politicians and legal experts.

Former clients of Ljubljanska Banka, which closed its operations in all the other Yugoslav countries in 1991 without repaying the savings of some 300,000 people outside Slovenia, told BIRN that they have still not been reimbursed despite a European Court of Human Rights ruling last year.
