Slovenia and Croatia made progress toward resolving a dispute over Nova Ljubljanska Banka d.d., easing concern the Alpine nation would fail to approve its former Yugoslav partner’s entry into the European Union.
The two countries are “close to a solution” in the dispute over savings of NLB’s predecessor, Slovenian Foreign Minister Karl Erjavec and his Croatian counterpart, Vesna Pusic, said late yesterday after talks in Brussels. Both ministers will meet again on Feb. 6 in Slovenia, along with banking experts from the two nations to finalize an accord.
