Petrol has appointed Metod Podkriznik and Drago Kavsek as board members. Petrol's supervisory board unanimously adopted a resolution on appointing the two board members, on a proposal by management board president Saso Berger, for a five-year term of office, the energy group said in a bourse filing last week. Podkriznik is set to commence duties on Petrol's management board from January 1, 2024, focusing on overseeing B2B and B2G sales, whereas Kavsek, who will handle finance, information, and risk-related matters, will officially assume the role starting February 1, 2024.

With the appointments, Petrol's management board will revert to its composition of six members, the company noted. Earlier this month, Petrol's board member Matija Bitenc resigned to focus on his role as general manager of wholesale natural gas supplier Geoplin. The function of Bitenc as board member of Petrol ended on December 8, but he will remain with the company until January 4, 2024, to hand over his duties and responsibilities, Petrol said back then.
