POREC, Nov 7 (Hina) - Commenting on Monday's ruling of the
European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg turning down a lawsuit filed by
three Croatian clients of Ljubljanska Banka against the now defunct Slovene
bank, Croatian Prime Minister Ivo Sanader said on Tuesday that Slovenia had no
reason to gloat because Croatia would continue to insist on Ljubljanska Banka
paying its debt to Croatian clients. "We will insist that
Ljubljanska Banka pay its debt to Croatian clients. So far three lawsuits have
been turned down, but when new ones come, the situation will be completely
different," Sanader told reporters in Porec after a government session.
The European Court of Human Rights turned down the lawsuit filed by the
three Croatian clients of Ljubljanska Banka, explaining that two of the
clients had already recovered their savings through the sale of fixed assets
belonging to the bank's Osijek branch and that the third client was able to
recover her money by filing a lawsuit in Croatia.
