Ljubljana – Dnevnik says in Tuesday’s commentary that the political interference in state-owned companies has hit another level yesterday as a protege of Environment Minister Andrej Vizjak was appointed to the supervisory board of Petrol.
“The new supervisor of Petrol is Vizjak’s man. Aleksander Zupančič, who was appointed by shareholders to the supervisory board without any reservations, is not only the head of the environment minister’s office. He has been a confidante of Andrej Vizjak for years.”
Under the headline It Doesn’t Matter If He Is Literate, As Long as He’s Ours, the newspaper goes on to say that when Vizjak headed the Economy Ministry, Zupančič was in charge of legal matters there, and was also the director of a public company in a municipality which had been previously headed by Vizjak.

Two current supervisors – chief supervisor Sašo Berger and Mladen Kaliterna – received new terms.
They will be joined by Branko Bračko, a manager at tool maker Unior, Aleksander Zupančič, the chief of staff to Environment Minister Andrej Vizjak, Alenka Urnaut Ropoša, a non-executive director at the bad bank, and Mario Selecky of J&T, Petrol’s biggest shareholder.
The appointments mark a significant departure from the original proposal, which involved Slovenian Sovereign Holding (SSH) chairman Janez Žlak, current supervisor Igo Gruden, and Borut Vrviščar, director of the logistics firm Kuehne + Nagel.
Žlak stepped down as candidate himself, while Urnaut Ropoša and Selecky were appointed at the proposal of SSH.
