Uncensored.si - According to Mijic, Lunos: who does the Snowman Circle work for in the war between the ventilators

Rok Snežič's associates have entered a high-stakes legal battle over the Slovenian ventilation equipment market, according to multiple reports. This follows Snežič’s recent acquisition of the struggling company Progros from MP Boris Mijič two weeks ago. Now, his network has become embroiled in a contentious dispute involving two major players in the sector: I-Vent, led by Milan Kuster, and Lunos, headed by Uroš Fonovič, who is also a prominent member of the Democratic Party and associated with Anže Logar. The conflict centers around allegations of misleading customers, questionable business practices, and advertising disputes. At the end of June, I-Vent filed for bankruptcy against Lunos and demanded compensation of €1.2 million. Lunos denied these claims and initiated its own legal actions against I-Vent, accusing them of improper use of the brand name. Adding complexity to this situation is the involvement of Snežič’s circle. As early as April, individuals linked to Snežič established a company named Lunos in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Recently, this entity flooded the internet with advertisements offering ventilation systems at significantly reduced prices, up to 90% off the usual cost. These products, described as Chinese-made units, were advertised under names such as Lunos Aeris, Lunos Ventisone, and Lunos VentoX. Despite different branding, they appear to be the same product based on photographs and descriptions. According to data from Google’s transparency center, these ads began appearing on Google in the current week, targeting Slovenian consumers. All websites hosting these ads are registered to the same company, which operates from Banja Luka, the capital of Republika Srpska. This location has been a long-standing base for tax advisor Rok Snežič, who frequently attracts Slovenian entrepreneurs there. The director and owner of the Bosnian company Lunos is Bojan Zrnić. According to sources close to the case, he is related to Lidija Zrnić, former partner of Rok Snežič. Earlier, during a financial investigation by the Financial Supervisory Agency of the Republic of Serbia (Furs), Snežič claimed he borrowed €600,000 from Lidija Zrnić in 2004. She later became the owner of his former Slovenian firm, Imperij, specializing in tax advisory services. Bojan Zrnić also runs the Bosnian company Moj Pravnik, formerly known as Isplata-Odšteta, which was previously controlled by Snežič. Today, he presents it as his partner company in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was this very company that submitted a request to the Institute for Intellectual Property in Bosnia and Herzegovina in December 2024 for the registration of the brand name Lunos, which was approved by the end of the year. Snežič’s associates officially registered the brand name Lunos in December 2025. This raises critical questions regarding the interests served by Snežič’s group entering the dispute between the two companies. I-Vent declined to comment on the competitive maneuvering but advised potential clients to exercise extreme caution when dealing with entities likely offering products lacking proper EU certifications. Sources close to the company suggest that the operation involving Lunos in Bosnia and Herzegovina is aimed at undermining their position in the market. The exact nature of the relationship between Snežič’s group and the company operating under the name Lunos remains unclear, but the presence of Snežič’s associates in the dispute adds another layer of intrigue to an already complex situation. The legal battle continues to unfold, with both sides preparing further arguments and evidence. The involvement of Snežič’s network introduces new dimensions to the ongoing conflict, potentially influencing the direction and outcome of the dispute.
