The legal act still prevents non-Slovene Ljubljanska Banka clients, who have so far been denied the right to claim their savings, from legally protecting their rights, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration said in a statement.
"The Ministry... establishes that the Slovene side continues to attempt to transfer one commercial bank's debt towards its clients onto all successor states (to Socialist Yugoslavia) within the succession process, as though it was a debt owed by the former state and not by one commercial bank," read the statement.
The ministry recalled that the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg was expected to rule soon in a claim three Croatian Ljubljanska Bank clients had filed against Slovenia due to their inability to collect their foreign currency savings.
