Director of Prague Public Transport Company dismissed from board

Prague councillors have dismissed three members of the board of directors of the Prague Public Transport Company. Among them are the director of the city’s transit authority, Martin Dvořák, and Radovan Šteiner, who is councillor for transport. The sackings come a week after a recommendation to that effect from Civic Democrat councillors, who control Prague Town Hall. Officials say Mr Dvořák has not performed well as director of the Public Transport Co, adding that they plan to remove him from that post by the summer.
