A Court of First Instance in Zagreb announced its ruling in one of the PBZ lawsuits against Ljubljanska Banka. During the proceedings, Privredna Banka Zagreb maintained its demand to be paid 3,8 million Swedish krona. The figure is a small part of the foreign currency deposits of Croatian savers in the former Zagreb branches of Ljubljanska Banka, which were transferred into Croatia's public debt at the beginning of the 90s.

Because of the transfer of these foreign currency deposits, which were paid back to Croatian savers by Croatian banks more than 20 years ago, the PBZ bank and Zagrebačka Banka filed 27 proceedings against Ljubljanska Banka and NLB in Croatian courts. According to the Croatian finance ministry, the sum of 544,4 million Deutschmarks, equivalent today to around 272 million euros, was transferred into Croatia’s public debt and paid off.
