Speaking on Slovenian Television, Erjavec commented on his Croatian counterpart Vesna Pusic's statement that the two countries' experts for the LB issue had agreed on a compromise, saying he understood the statement as agreement that Croatia would withdraw said power of attorney.
"I expect the proceedings against (LB) in Croatian courts to be stopped now," he said, adding that this was a prerequisite for reaching a final solution at the Bank for International Settlements.
Erjavec said the issue of LB's former Croatian clients was worth about EUR 800 million, but that Croatia had paid part of those clients by recognising their savings as its public debt.
Regarding this week's judgement by the European Court of Human Rights establishing Slovenia's liability for unpaid LB foreign currency savings, Erjavec said it was unjust and that he was confident it would be repealed in appeal.
