State-owned PERN SA looks for new president

The new president will be chosen at the beginning of October. "We still have not reviewed the candidates. We will do it this Saturday," informed Krzysztof Czeszejko-Sochacki, the head of the supervisory board of PERN "Przyjaźń". After reviewing the choices the board will begin talks with the candidates themselves. Among them is the company's former president Stanisław Jakubowski. He was suspended after having been accused of attempting to bribe journalists from TV Polsat and Nowy Tygodnik Płocki weekly. PERN has lately also closed the competition to the members of the firm's management board. The board now includes Grzegorz Ligor, Andrzej Żelechowski and Sławomir Stachowicz. (Parkiet, p. 3) A.F.
