Victoriabank rejects the accusations brought by some representatives of the bank's shareholders, who claim the bank is committing illegalities and that the decision to summon the General Assembly infringed legal procedure. The bank dismissed them as ungrounded and lacking legal arguments, IPN reports.

According to a press statement of the institution, Victoriabank's board of directors, respecting all the current provisions of the law, accepted the request for summoning the extraordinary meeting of shareholders. The requests regarding the meeting agenda have been met and the announcement of the meeting can be found on the bank's official website.

The statement also informs about the decision of the National Commission of the Financial Market published in the Official Gazette on January 17, confirming the legality of actions taken for the summoning of the General Assembly.
