BGRegional Minister Architect Ivan Shishkov has replaced the entire board of directors at the state-owned company 'Automagistrali.' The new CEO is Ivan Kunev, a member of GERB, who previously headed the Regional Road Management in Blagoevgrad, according to a check by Mediapool in the Trade Register. Earlier, Engineer Alexander Todorov, chairman of the Board of Directors of the 'Road Infrastructure Agency' (API), announced that a new director would sign an in-house contract for installing barriers. The state company became known for billions spent on in-house contracts for building the Hemus motorway, the high-speed road to Viden, and slope reinforcement projects awarded during the third government of Boiko Borisov in 2019 and 2020, but nothing has been completed yet. While the new head of 'Automagistrali' has some experience with roads, the others have no background in road construction and were likely appointed for other reasons. Economist Viktor Popov was named a council member, having worked recently at the Sports Totalizer and National Sports Base. The other two members are 34-year-old Nikola Bacheva and 64-year-old 'Scottish brother' Mitko Mihaylov.
