17:13
Slawomir Nowak has become the new head of the State Agency for Roads of Ukraine (Ukrawtodor). This is equivalent to Poland's General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways. The former Polish transport minister will be responsible for the development of Ukraine's road network. This is yet another Polish politician or official who has been hired by institutions of our eastern neighbor. Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Hroysman announced the appointment on Twitter.
In 2011-2013 Slawomir Nowak was Minister of Transport in the government of Donald Tusk. For years, he was one of Tusk's closest collaborators, and for a while headed the political cabinet of the prime minister. He also worked in the Chancellery of President Bronislaw Komorowski, where he served as State Secretary.
