Janota to take spot on supervisory board of energy giant

Former Finance Minister Eduard Janota will take up one of three available posts on the supervisory board of the state-owned energy giant ČEZ, the business and news website iHned has reported. Mr Janota received the offer from his successor Miroslav Kalousek and has already accepted. The board will meet on August 12 to discuss the changes, which will see the introduction of two more new members. The chairman of the board is expected to be a member of the coalition-leading Civic Democrats, iHned said, allowing stronger communication between the board and the prime minister.
