Slovenia Post & DPD negotiating to renew co-operation

— CEP News has reported that “the Slovenian post is currently negotiating with Direct Parcel Distribution, the international organisation of Deutscher Paketdienst (DPD) concerning a cooperation renewal and extension. The post is a co-operation partner of DPD in Slovenia, but their contract expired in April. DPD says the current negotiations concern the transformation of the co-operation contract into a franchise agreement. The simultaneous discussions regarding a co-operation between the French DPD parent company La Poste and the Austrian DPD partner Post Austria are said not to involve Slovenia. The Austrians recently announced (CEP News 33/01) that they were setting up their own parcel distribution network in Slovenia.”
