Koper – Port operator Luka Koper will pay out dividends of EUR 1.14 gross per share as shareholders on Monday endorsed a counter-proposal by Slovenian Sovereign Holding (SSH).

The remaining EUR 13.6 million in distributable profit will remain undistributed.

While some are losing out on rising electricity prices, others, such as electricity producers, are gaining.
