Goods delivered, invoice overdue, the customer in Slovenia silent. This page explains how a B2B claim is collected in Slovenia, how long it takes, and which interest and costs can be charged to the debtor. Incasso Mentor sets up and runs this process on your behalf: we choose the right route, bring in the local specialist, follow every step and report to you in Turkish. You only take the decisions. Information as at September 2026.
The four figures that matter most to a Turkish exporter. Fees and rates change; before any legal step we confirm the current figures with our partner.
Slovenian-language demand; interest and the €40 flat recovery fee (ZPreZP-1 Art. 14) are claimed. B2B payment terms are capped by law at 60 days (120 days by written agreement). The debtor's registration and financial position are checked through AJPES.
In Slovenia the invoice alone counts as an authentic document (verodostojna listina). The application is filed electronically with COVL, the central department of the Ljubljana Local Court; with a complete application the order is issued within 48 hours. The debtor has 8 days to pay or object.
After a reasoned objection the case continues as a commercial dispute (gospodarski spor) at the Okrožno sodišče regardless of the amount (ZPP Art. 32); appeal to the Višje sodišče. Fees per the ZST-1 scale, based on the value in dispute. First instance about a year on average, longer in complex cases.
An izvršitelj appointed by the Minister of Justice: bank accounts, movables, real estate, company shares. A final judgment is valid for 10 years. Bankruptcy (stečaj) or compulsory settlement (prisilna poravnava) at the Okrožno sodišče (ZFPPIPP), published on AJPES; claims must be lodged within 3 months in bankruptcy, 1 month in compulsory settlement.
Collecting a debt in a foreign country on your own is exhausting: language, law, finding the right firm, negotiating fees, not missing deadlines. This is exactly where Incasso Mentor comes in. We review your file, obtain an independent credit report on the debtor and determine the most suitable route for Slovenia.
Then we set up the process: we select the lawyer or enforcement officer (izvršitelj) in Slovenia, hand over a complete and well-prepared file, fix the fee on your behalf in advance and follow every step. You work with one contact, in your own language. Every decision is yours; no step is taken without your approval.
You: send us the invoice, contract and delivery documents.
We: assess the file, obtain the credit report and report the route and cost to you in writing.
We: select and brief the local specialist in Slovenia, fix the fee and watch the deadlines.
We: report every development in Turkish and answer your questions.
You: take the decision at every stage. Legal steps only with your approval.
In Slovenia an enforcement order is obtained through COVL on the invoice alone, without a lawsuit; the fee is €44 and the court does not examine the document. If the debtor does not file a reasoned objection within 8 days, the order is enforced directly. Our partner in Slovenia files the application through the portal.
The 3-year period is counted separately for each invoice and is not interrupted by a demand; only an acknowledgment by the debtor or a court or enforcement application stops the clock. For invoices close to the deadline we do not lose time with demands: straight to e-enforcement.
The European order for payment is closed to Turkish companies; the national e-enforcement is fast and cheap anyway. The judgment is enforced in the EU under Brussels I-bis. If the debtor goes bankrupt, a claim not lodged within 3 months of the AJPES publication is lost; we watch that deadline.
Unopposed e-enforcement: the order within 48 hours, and with service and the 8-day objection period the enforcement stage is reached in about 1–2 months. After a reasoned objection the commercial case at the Okrožno sodišče takes about a year on average at first instance.
Not required by law at first instance or in enforcement (ZPP Art. 86); a lawyer is mandatory only for extraordinary remedies (revizija). In practice our partner lawyer in Slovenia files the e-enforcement application and, if objected, conducts the case.
A Slovenian judgment is enforced in the EU without extra formalities; in Turkey recognition (tenfiz) is needed, rarely relevant since the debtor's assets are usually in Slovenia.
Share your invoice and the basic documents. We review the file and report the route in Slovenia and the expected cost to you in writing, in Turkish; the rest we plan together. B2B, from €20,000 per debtor.
