UPDATE: Romanian Transelectrica Board Chairman Resigns Two Days After Appointment

Victor Vevera, personal adviser to Romanian Prime Minister Emil Boc, resigned from the position of chairman of the board at Transelectrica (TEL.RO), operator of the country’s power grid, just two days after its appointment.

The resignation was sent to the Economy Minister, to the company and its board, the government said Tuesday.

Vevera was named chairman Friday, after the company’s chief executive Horia Hahaianu was dismissed from the position, following an Economy Minister decision. In July 2011, minister Ion Ariton decided that the positions of chairman of the board and of general managers in the companies managed by the ministry cannot be held by the same person.
