The new Slovenian law on takeovers has been adopted, with the principle goal of implementing Directive 2004/25/EC on takeover bids. Although it follows the main principles of the former Slovenian law on takeovers, the new Takeover Act provides a highly structured set of takeover rules, resolving the ambiguities of the former law.

Lastly, the Takeover Act did away with provisions that were drafted for the specific economic circumstances of a country undergoing a transition process, providing special status to certain quasi state funds.
