Asked to comment on the Croatian parliament's decision that
Slovenia should pay for the electricity it failed to deliver since
July 1 last year, when the agreement was signed, Kopac said that
both sides had been late with ratification and that "neither one of
them is clean in that regard".
Due to delays in envisaged deadlines, the contractual partners have
to establish again when the agreement goes into force, as well as
when the new company, into which the plant is to be reorganised,
will make its initial balance sheet, Kopac said. This can be done by
decision of the company or in new talks on the ministerial level, he
added.
The Krsko company has called a meeting of shareholders for April 5,
Kopac said.
