LJUBLJANA, Feb 10 (Reuters) - Nova Ljubljanska Banka, Slovenia's largest bank, made a net loss of 202 million euros ($277 million) last year, compared with an 86.8 million loss in 2009.

"A higher loss was due to high weakenings and provisions," unlisted NLB said on Thursday.

NLB, which barely passed the EU stress test in July and plans a capital hike of 250 million euros by the end of March to meet tougher EU capital requirements, confirmed the new shares would be sold at 116 euros around Feb. 25.

The government controls 48.6 percent of NLB, while 30.6 percent of the bank is owned by Belgian banking and insurance group KBC. (Reporting by Marja Novak; Writing by Igor Ilic; Editing by Dan Lalor) ($1 = 0.7308 euro)
