Slovak PM Fico asserts control over CEZ stake acquisition process

Prime Minister Robert Fico has moved to centralize oversight of the potential acquisition of a stake in the Czech energy firm CEZ, currently under the purview of Minister Denisa Saková. The government is seeking an independent valuation of the asset while allowing representatives from state-owned JAVYS and CEZ to participate in the selection process, signaling a shift toward more direct executive control over the transaction.
