The newest issue is the Croatian member of the two-member management of the Kr\u0161ko Nuclear Power Plant (NEK). Gen.Energija, the Slovenian co-owner of the NEK, recently extended ad interim the mandate of Stane Ro\u017eman, the long-term CEO of the power plant. This was done without the agreement of the Croatian partner, HEP, which is conditioning its consent to this extension by removal of the current Croatian member of the Board, Mr Hrvoje Pehari\u0107. <!--more-->HEP is also reportedly requesting that Mr Pehari\u0107 be replaced by Mr Sa\u0161a Medakovi\u0107, current Head of Radiology and Nuclear Safety Institute. So far, it seems that the Slovenian side disagrees with Mr Medakovi\u0107\u2019s appointment and any kind of tit-for-tat on appointments.<br \/>\nAccording to Gen.Energija CEO, Mr Martin Nov\u0161ak, they do not dispute Croatian right to replace its board member at any point in time, but they are \u201casking for it to be a person of appropriate qualifications and in line with global best practices\u201d. He added that continuous professional education of Slovenian and Croatian personnel in the NEK is being conducted since 2006 for persons aiming at top management positions.<br \/>\nShould the Gen.Energija and the HEP fail to reach an agreement, Mr Nov\u0161ak believes the sides would have to resort to arbitration.<br \/>\nMr Pehari\u0107, the current Croatian member of the Board, stated that the \u201cposition that the NEK should allocate its contracts equally between Slovenian and Croatian contractors is a myth.\u201d This is also at the core of his dispute with former Minister of Economy Ivan Vrdoljak, who according to Mr Pehari\u0107 accused him back in 2015 of agreeing to reduce this ratio in favor of Slovenian companies causing damages to Croatian economy of around Kn 2 billion. According to Mr Pehari\u0107, this is just a diversion. The real problem is that the Croatian side \u201caggressively pushed its candidate who lacks qualifications\u201d, thus causing the blockade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Croatia and Slovenia seem to disagree on a number of points lately.
