In
its
finding
of
excessive
length
,
the
Court
relies
on
Eberhard
and
M.
v.
Slovenia
(
nos
.
8673/05
and
9733/05
,
1
December
2009
)
.
That
case
does
not
lend
much
support
to
the
conclusions
of
the
present
judgment
.
First
,
the
stake
(
the
intensity
of
the
interference
by
a
private
party
in
parental
rights
)
was
higher
:
it
concerned
an
application
for
custody
and
a
denial
of
contact
.
In
the
present
case
the
applicant
had
custody
(
shared
)
and
there
was
no
issue
of
denial
of
contact
(
except
that
the
applicant
should
have
attempted
that
in
Bulgaria
)
.
The
Slovenian
court
proceedings
at
issue
lasted
for
more
than
four
years
and
six
months
and
this
can
not
be
considered
comparable
to
a
period
of
less
than
two
years
.
Finally
the
father
in
the
present
case
,
contrary
to
the
mother
in
Eberhard
,
did
not
delay
the
proceedings
.
