Govt to Axe Railway Management

Ljubljana, 15 December - Transport Minister Patrick Vlacic announced on Monday that the government would dismiss the supervisory board of rail operator Slovenske zeleznice (which would in turn replace the management) due to liquidity problems, losses in cargo transport and the news that Christmas bonuses would be paid out even though the company is in the red.
