On Friday, GaiaCell indicated its willingness to retain biological samples, provided that the parents demonstrated commitment through tangible actions rather than mere assurances. However, the situation remained contentious, as attorneys Urban Vrtačnik and Matej Vošner declined to provide any funding for GaiaCell’s work or associated costs, even if offered as an advance payment. According to statements from GaiaCell, the parents’ representatives communicated that they would re-present the matter to the parents and attempt further negotiations.
Despite this, GaiaCell expressed significant doubt regarding the outcome, noting that their direct experience showed that all prior discussions and agreements had failed. Consequently, the organization stated that its confidence in the assurances given by the parents was substantially diminished. This internal dispute over cooperation and funding occurred against the backdrop of a judicial ruling.
Separately, the District Court in Domžale issued a court order on Wednesday mandating the release of the samples. The divergence between the court’s directive and the ongoing disagreements among the parties highlights the legal complexity surrounding the materials. GaiaCell continues to navigate these conflicting directives, asserting that their ability to proceed is contingent upon demonstrable cooperation that moves beyond verbal agreements.
