Correction
Following the portrait of Radovan Vávra in the "Where Are They Now" section
of our March issue, we received a request from Mr Vávra to correct some of the
published information. Our article stated that Union banka had been put under
forced administration, when in fact the bank was closed on the initiative of
its managers. Mr Vávra stated that he personally decided to close down the bank
in order to protect the depositors savings, "after the government decided,
quite to the contrary of its long term strategy and repeated claims, not to participate
in the restructuring of Union banka." Mr Vávra was subsequently removed
from his position by the supervisory board controlled by the company Investmart. |
