New TVP president unlikely to be appointed soon

The current CEO of the company, Robert Kwiatkowski, will remain in his post until at least March 2004. This is the result of the supervisory board failing to decide when it would question ten candidates for the post of the company's president, despite deliberating the whole night between Tuesday and Wednesday. "Yes, this is another delay. Regretfully some are not in a rush to conclude the competition for the post," said Marian Pilot, a member of the supervisory board. The board has also to question 38 candidates for posts on the management board. "This situation is not doing the company any good and, consequently, the competition must be concluded as soon as possible," believes Adam Pawłowicz, a member of TVP's supervisory board.
