It is unclear what the solution might be, but Slovenia's position has been that this is an issue stemming from succession to the former Yugoslavia.
One option would be a return to the negotiating table by all five successor states under the auspices of the Basel Bank for International Settlements (BIS).
Another solution mentioned by Slovenia would be for Croatian companies to settle their debt to LB, with the bank then using the money to repay the savers.
Some 132,000 Croatian savers claim over EUR 178m from the bank including interest, whereas Croatian firms are estimated to owe the bank to the tune of EUR 800m including interest.
