In the already lively scene of Slovenian club football, the SPINS syndicate has added more spice in January, becoming increasingly active in the “operations” of two Prva Liga Telemach clubs. One is Rogaška, the other Olimpija, both clubs were in the spotlight in the latest public statement. The SPINS syndicate has, among other things, ordered a lawsuit against Nino Ivačič, the sports director of Rogaška, while also revealing that four Olimpija players (Rui Pedro, Mustafa Nukić, Pascal Estrada, Marko Mijailović) have sent a warning to the leadership of the Ljubljana-based top-tier club, threatening unilateral contract termination, and have also filed a complaint with the police!
Public statement by the SPINS syndicate:
The SPINS syndicate will strongly respond to the severe and unjust accusations made yesterday through the media by the sports director of NK Rogaška, which tarnish the reputation and name of the syndicate and its longtime president, Dejan Stefanović. Through the authorized law firm, they will file a defamation lawsuit against the sports director of NK Rogaška, Nino Ivačič, for libel (Article 159 of the Criminal Code).
As we wrote a few days ago, one of the NK Rogaška players filed a complaint with the RS Inspectorate of Labour regarding workplace harassment and also requested an examination of employment relationship elements. It should be added that the player has also initiated various procedures through Croatian state institutions, some of which are expected to be concluded next week.
Also, the situation with four players of NK Olimpija Ljubljana, who still train separately from the first team, has not been resolved by today. SPINS has repeatedly warned clubs in the past about the unacceptable practice of removing individual players from the first team to induce the termination of contracts. However, evidently, some clubs still justify such practices as their right. In this particular case, the club publicly admitted the removal or harassment of four players from the first team during a press conference on Tuesday. As a result, today the players have sent a warning to the club regarding unilateral contract termination, and an official complaint against the club has been filed with the police based on Article 197 of the Criminal Code.
Similar cases have occurred in the past in 1st and 2nd SNL clubs, but representatives of the syndicate and clubs, through fair and open communication, have always managed to find solutions acceptable to all parties involved.
