Furs (the Slovenian Financial Administration) has proposed bankruptcy for Klukc. What about Mijić's debts?
The company Progros was transferred by former Truth Party MP Boris Mijic to entrepreneur Rok Snežič in July, who renamed it Klukec, animal breeding, and listed camel farming as its activity. After the company failed to respond to a bankruptcy petition filed by the tax authority (FURS), the court declared it insolvent and appointed Jožica Vindiš as the insolvency administrator. Prior to the ownership transfer, the company owed over 40,000 euros in unpaid wages to 13 employees, despite Mijic’s earlier promises to settle these debts by year-end, along with outstanding financial obligations to the state. When contacted regarding the current debt status, Snežič claimed he had received no correspondence from FURS because he is not the director, stating that management is handled by Admira Kamerić, whom Mijic appointed. Snežich further alleged that he accepted the company as a gift with the intention of transferring it to Luka Mesec, citing Mesec’s public threats to seize his assets through enforcement proceedings. In response, Mesec dismissed this narrative as a 'bad joke' by Snežič and Mijic, emphasizing the negative impact on workers and creditors while confirming he would not enforce claims against the specific entity.
The District Court in Ljubljana has initiated bankruptcy proceedings against Klukec, a company formerly known as Progros. The court made this decision on October 30, 2026, following a proposal filed by the Financial Administration of the Republic of Slovenia. According to records from the business registry, the company had failed to respond to the insolvency petition within the statutory fifteen-day period. It did not file an objection claiming solvency, dispute the existence of the debt owed to the tax authority, or request a postponement of the ruling. Consequently, the court applied the legal presumption of insolvency and appointed Jožica Vindiš as the bankruptcy administrator. A party may appeal this decision within fifteen days. Klukec is the same legal entity as the former construction and hospitality firm Progros, retaining its original registration number despite the name change. The ownership transfer occurred over the summer of 2026. Boris Mijič, a former member of parliament for the Truth party, acquired the entire business share in May 2025 and served as director until late June. Before transferring ownership, Mijič appointed Admir Kamerić, who resides permanently in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as the new director. On July 20, Mijič transferred his entire stake to businessman Rok Snežič for free. Three days later, Snežič was registered as the sole owner, and the company was renamed Klukec, animal breeding. Snežicialtered the declared business activity to camel farming. Snežič explained the maneuver at the time by citing a final enforcement order held against his personal assets by Luka Mesec, a member of parliament and co-coordinator of the Left party. Years earlier, Snežič had sued Mesec for alleged defamation but lost the case. The court ordered Snežič to pay Mesec 2,489 euros in court costs. Snežič stated that Mesec had spent months boasting on social media about having a final enforcement order against him and promising to seize his property. Snežič claimed he transferred the company to allow Mesec to take possession, adding that Mesec could prove himself by managing a company burdened with debts to employees and the financial administration. Regarding the new identity, Snežič said the name was a play on words combining "Lukec" and "Kljukec." He chose camel farming because no other company in Slovenia engages in that specific activity, meaning Mesec would face no competition. Mesec responded to the transfer by criticizing the sense of humor displayed by both Snežič and Mijič. He suggested that observers consider how employees and creditors felt when their claims were treated as a joke. Mesec announced he would not enforce his claim against the company itself. Several members of the coalition government also criticized the actions of Mijič and Snežič. Financial difficulties at Progros were reported before the ownership change. Data collected by a workers' advisory body indicated that the company owed 13 former employees a total of 41,285 euros in net wages. These employees reportedly waited more than a year for payment. Representatives of the former staff also pointed to unpaid contributions and presented suspicions of document forgery in three cases. These allegations remain unadjudicated in the current bankruptcy ruling. In July, Mijič told the National Assembly that the company faced financial distress due to unpaid obligations from clients and business partners. He apologized to those harmed and promised to settle all debts to employees and the state by the end of the year. Reports from October indicated that these obligations remained unsettled. Mijič faced intense public pressure after revelations regarding debts to employees and the financial administration, violations of employee rights, and other irregularities, including false statements about his education. He retained his parliamentary seat until early October 2026. At that point, sufficient time had passed since the start of the legislative term such that early termination of his mandate would not trigger replacement elections. He resigned shortly thereafter. When contacted regarding the current status of the debts, Snežič stated he had received no correspondence from the Financial Administration. He clarified that he is not the director of the company. He noted that management is led by the individual appointed by Mijič, with whom he has had no contact. Because official mail goes to the director responsible for management, Snežič argued he was unable to file objections. He described receiving the company as a gift, accepted with the intention that Mesec would take it over. Snežič stated he knows nothing about the specific debts because he never received the business documentation. He emphasized that he has not dealt with the company's affairs. The court record shows that Snežič was aware of the company’s losses and negative capital at the time of acquisition. The Financial Administration covered the advance costs required to initiate the procedure.
The former company of Boris Mijic, a former member of parliament for the Levica party, has entered bankruptcy proceedings. Mijic had previously transferred ownership of the entity, originally named Progros, to Rok Snezic for free. Snezic renamed the company and changed its registered activity to camel breeding, citing a court order requiring him to pay legal costs to Luka Mesec, another Levica co-coordinator, after losing a defamation lawsuit. Snezic stated he made this move to allow Mesec to enforce his claim against the asset, while also mocking the situation by noting there would be no competition in camel farming in Slovenia. Mesec criticized the maneuver as having poor taste and disrespectful toward employees and creditors, though he announced he would not enforce the execution against the specific company. Mijic resigned from parliament in early October following revelations of debts to workers and tax authorities, violations of labor rights, and false claims regarding his education.
Bias read (Conservative): The article emphasizes Mijic's resignation due to 'severe public pressure' and lists multiple ethical failures like lying about education and violating worker rights, framing the political actors negatively rather than neutrally.

The Ljubljana District Court has initiated bankruptcy proceedings against the company Klukec, formerly known as Progros, which was transferred by former parliamentarian Boris Mijic to Rok Snezic earlier this year. Snezic changed the company's registered activity to camel breeding and stated he made the transfer to allow co-coordinator Luka Mesec to enforce a court order for unpaid legal costs stemming from a defamation case Mesec lost. While Snezic described the move as a way for Mesec to demonstrate his ability to manage a debt-laden entity, Mesec criticized the action as having poor taste and mocked workers and creditors. Following revelations regarding debts to employees, tax authorities, and other irregularities such as false educational claims, Mijic resigned from his parliamentary seat in early October.

Critics, including some coalition members, described the move as mocking workers and creditors, while Mijic resigned from his parliamentary seat in October following revelations of debts and other irregularities.

The Ljubljana District Court has initiated bankruptcy proceedings against the company Klukec, formerly known as Progros, based on a petition filed by the Financial Administration of the Republic of Slovenia (FURS). The court applied a legal presumption of insolvency because the company failed to respond to the petition within 15 days, despite having negative capital and significant debts. Records show that Boris Mijic transferred his entire ownership stake to Rok Snežič in July 2025, shortly after changing the company's name and directorship. Former employees report being owed over 41,000 euros in unpaid wages, while the company also faces outstanding obligations to the state. Although Mijic previously promised to settle these debts by year-end, recent reports indicate they remain unresolved, prompting interest from labor inspectors and anti-corruption authorities.
Bias read (Progressive): The article emphasizes allegations of fraud, unpaid worker wages, and corruption investigations involving a former minister, using critical language regarding the transfer of assets to avoid debt.
