Prime Minister Robert Fico announced that the Government Office is taking over the initiative in building a new nuclear power plant and resolving ownership relations in JESS company. According to available information, he criticized the Ministry of Economy led by Denisa Saková for delays and failure to meet set deadlines. aktuality.sk ↗
Fico stated that the settlement of ownership relations in JESS should take place in September. This concerns the acquisition of a 49-percent share in the company related to the new nuclear power plant project. The Czech energy company ČEZ has meanwhile objected to speculation regarding the sale of its share. It denies claims that the value of the share was not determined transparently, and according to published information, does not rule out legal action. pravda.sk ↗
The dispute escalated further after Eduard Chmelár's appearance in a television discussion. He claimed that someone wants to gain 90 million euros in the transaction and suggested possible corrupt conduct. Fico labeled these claims as absurd and unsubstantiated accusations and expects legal action. Novy Cas ↗
Further developments are to focus on September negotiations on the ownership arrangement in JESS. At the same time, it will be crucial whether the dispute over the price of the share can be resolved and the doubts accompanying the preparation of the nuclear project can be removed. teraz.sk ↗
