On November 29, Telekom Slovenije received a ruling and a decision of the Ljubljana Higher Court regarding the commercial dispute with SKY NET for the fulfillment of a contract according to two lawsuits ( in the total amount of EUR 33m), and because of the declaration of a void contract following a counterclaim (in the amount of EUR 25m).

With this ruling and decision, the Higher Court rejected the appeal of SKY NET and confirmed the ruling of the court in the first instance, which rejected the remaining part of the subordinate claim regarding the issued orders for the construction of 414 base stations and the orders for obtaining the documentation for 434 base stations. The court also ruled that SKY NET is obligated to reimburse Telekom Slovenije for the legal costs in the amount of EUR 39.6k, and the costs of the appeal procedure in the amount of EUR 5.48k.
