- Lex Mercator
In 2017, the Državni Zbor passed a law that is intended to protect subsidiaries of insolvent companies from life-threatening outflows to the parent company. The law was discussed in public as Lex Mercator , as it is tailored to this company, whose parent company Agrokor is being restructured under state supervision. Mercator is considered to be systemically relevant in Slovenia , as numerous suppliers depend on the company.
