You are welcome to watch the interview conducted with Veronika Cukrov by RTVSLO journalist Mr. Žan Dolajš for the Večerni Dnevnik, about the request for the renewal of the procedure and the suspension of the implementation of the decision on the hunting of nutria, which was submitted to the MKGP by our Law Firm Cukrov on the authority of the Alpe Adria Green Association.

In our opinion, in this particular case, allowing the hunting of nutria is a violation of Point 8 of Article 26 of the Animal Protection Act, which stipulates that the killing of an animal is permitted if it is an animal that causes significant damage and cannot be prevented in any other way. In this particular case, these conditions are not met. In accordance with judicial practice, it also applies that the public benefit represents the principle of protecting the life of animals, as a result, in the specific case, the public benefit has undoubtedly been demonstrated and the renewal of the procedure is admissible and justified. Catching nutria is also a violation of Article 17 of the Regulation of the Ljubljana Marsh Landscape Park, as the intervention does not represent the least invasive possible intervention.

On the link below, you can also see Veronika Cukrov’s statement given for the 24ur program regarding the delayed capture of nutria; our Law Firm has not yet received an official response from the MKGP regarding requests for the renewal of the procedure and the suspension of the implementation of the decision, but we understand the aforementioned delay as a positive possibility to ensure a more transparent procedure, which will include a wider range of experts in the field.

Many businesses are facing the problem of increased costs due to Covid, the war in Ukraine, the energy crisis, the disruption of supply chains and the non-recognition of increased costs by clients; and yet, solutions exist.

You are welcome to read the article in the Delo newspaper on the topic of lawsuits by service providers and construction companies against public clients regarding non-recognition of higher prices; lawyer, court expert and former president of the National Audit Commission, Vesna Cukrov, spoke to journalist Nejce Golet about lawsuits brought against public clients by builders, as well as contractors of cleaning, security and similar service industries, which have higher costs due to the increase in the minimum wage.

These are very important procedures in which the contractors embark on due to the urgency of the situation and the rigidity of the clients when dealing with it. Covid, the war in Ukraine, the energy crisis, disrupted global supply chains… Due to extreme changed circumstances, as well as sudden changes in legislation (a radical increase in the minimum wage), many contractors have to fulfill the subject of a public contract with a significant loss, which upon conclusion he could not calculate the contract. At Law Firm Cukrov, we deal with the relevant procedures in detail and believe in success. We are also attaching a link to the subject article: https://lnkd.in/eHpiteFj.

 

 

This Friday, June 2, 2023, Veronika Cukrov lectured at the 18th Days of European Law (on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the single market), namely on a topic that she deals with herself, that is, on European energy law (more precisely, the judgment in the Austrian, Electricity network and others/ACER T-6060/20, T-6060/20).

At this year’s Construction-Spatial-Environmental Conference, Vesna Cukrov and Veronika Cukrov lectured on the valuation of prices from the point of view of changes to the construction contract; unfortunately, in this field, there is an almost 20-year-old act in use, which is not appropriate in view of the current situation, which Law Firm Cukrov deals with a lot, as it causes a lot of problems in practice. Nevertheless, other legal solutions were presented at the conference, which are suitable for the successful protection of all parties to the construction contract during the actual execution of the project in the face of unpredictable price changes.

The conference was concluded by a round table, where attorney at law Vesna Cukrov together with the executive director of the construction sector 2TDK, Marko Žitnik, director of CGP, Edo Škufca, dr. Marjana Šijanec Zavrl from ZRMK, and Aleksandra Velkovrh, eng. constr., under the leadership of Tax Fin Lex director Zlata Tavčar, discussed the difficult questions of the future of construction in the current global situation.

Participants from the ranks of public contracting authorities and private tender applicants, therefore, received answers at the seminar for further successful work, despite the very aggravated conditions caused by the pandemic and the war.
