LJUBLJANA, June 4 (Hina) - The former Socialist Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia's (SFRY) assets, in which military facilities that were
in the meantime destroyed, used to have a large part, is now of not
so great value. Therefore it is difficult to say how much Slovenia
is going to get in the process of the succession, which will be
carried out according to a key recently adopted in Vienna, the
Slovene chief negotiator in succession talks, Miran Mejak, was
quoted by a journal "Finance" as saying.
According to the Vienna key, Slovenia will receive 14 percent of the
ex-SFRY embassies and consulates and 16 percent of other assets,
Mejak said in his interview published by that Slovene business
paper.
Ljubljana regards the Vienna agreement on framework succession as
the first step in the process of the division of the property of the
former federation, and, for it, an 'unfinished chapter' in the
succession talks is still obligations to clients and depositors of
the Ljubljanska Bank branches in Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and
Macedonia.
Slovenia advocates the so-called territorial principle under which
the debts to the depositors will be paid by respective countries
where the said bank used to work.
"Talks on the settlement of that issue will continue with
cooperation of an international financial institution, and
arbitration is not ruled out," the Slovene daily read.
