The state-run railroad company “Calea Ferată din Moldova” (CFM) has a new director. This is Vladimir Cebotari, who became the winner of the contest to choose the manager of the CFM after gaining a maximum score, IPN reports, quoting the Ministry of Transport and Road Infrastructure.

Minister of Transport Vasile Botnari on April 9 signed the order to name Vladimir Cebotari as the company’s director general and presented him to the staff of the CFM. The minister said that Vladimir Cebotari, who until recently held the post of Deputy Minister of Transport, has a rich experience in managing the transport sector, especially in such fields as investment attraction and implementation of the European management standards.

Vladimir Cebotari said he took part in the contest because he wants to contribute to bringing about changes in the railroad area and to developing the railroad system.

“Calea Ferată din Moldova” remained without a director in February 2014, after Andrei Domashcan was dismissed for the reason that he didn’t carry out the reformation tasks at the company on time. Eugen Baleca, who won the last contest to choose the director of the CFM last August, refused the post.
