• Resumen

  • On 24 April 2013, the Agency for Protection of Competition (AVK) issued a decision, which found that the local company Pro Plus has abused its dominant position in the television advertising market on the territory of the Republic of Slovenia (and in the internal market). Since 1 January 2003, Pro Plus, which owns two commercial TV channels (Pop TV and Kanal A), required exclusivity from the advertisers (100% market share of advertising) or offered more favourable conditions for the loyalty of the advertisers discouraging them to advertise on other competitive TV channels, which restricted the access to the market and consequently reduced the growth of the market.
