Ljubljana pay the price

Debts cleared
In November last year the judge warned six clubs to clear their debts to players and coaches or risk losing points. NK Olimpija Ljubljana and NK Primorje fulfilled their obligations early in the year while NK Mura, NK Rudar Velenje and NK Šmartno have since paid all their outstanding sums.

Korotan relegated
The punishment means that Ljubljana now have 30 points in the 1. SNL table and have slipped from seventh place to ninth. Meanwhile NK Korotan have been relegated to the fifth tier of football in the country after the club's players refused to participate in the last two rounds of the season in protest at not being paid for nearly six months.
