“Today I handed over to the Minister of Transport and Communications, Marius Skuodis, a resignation from the position of chairman of the board of directors of SE Lietuvos airport. I admit that the decision is difficult, because I have been working in the logistics and logistics sector for more than 20 years. aviation in Lithuania and internationally, so I know that great experience, willingness to work, appetite for results and continuity are the only guarantees of success in aviation, especially in Covid-19. However, I always support the good state work, therefore, I am not going and I do not want to be an obstacle ”, wrote A. Šliupas.

“It just came to our attention then. Let’s leave it as it is, it’s my decision,” he confirmed on BNS on Monday.

One of the reasons given by A. Šliupas is that information about him appeared in some media.

“It is regrettable to admit that we live in a state where universal justice is not administered by the courts, but by the media, and its impact to this day is only just beginning to be evaluated (Facebook and US elections, etc.). You can find one of us guilty with impunity even without evidence, but only on the basis of assumptions and interpretation of the facts, presenting everything with one. disclaimer “Possibly ….”, “probably …..”, who will deny … “and so on. So, decades of experience in one of the most competitive areas before (()) biased? Interpretation face – sadly, experience loses.

At the end of this stage, I would like to say that the desire to work and achieve results cannot always be viewed in a positive light. I know that there are many talented people working in the public sector, so let’s protect and value those who come to create, let’s not take the attitude of ‘doing nothing better than taking the initiative – they can punish me, because it’s a gray area and nobody knows how “.

I wish strength to the Ministry of Transport and Communications, because the problems of the aviation sector need to be solved here and now, and the challenges are obvious to everyone, such as: Lithuania’s airport development policy when the long-term development strategy of three airports was abandoned in the 2017 concession model.

Still, I am fed up with Lithuania and I want us to be the strongest and most innovative, leaving the state of the peripheral region and its airports forgotten, ”he wrote.

Delphi He tried to contact A. Šliupis, but so far he has not succeeded.

According to the Ministry of Transport and Communications, the selection of a new member of the Board of SE Lithuanian Airports will be carried out in the near future according to the procedure established by legal acts. The president shall be elected by the council from among the other members of the council immediately after his resignation.

“Since the first days of working in this ministry, I have been talking about the need for state-owned companies to have strong and transparent boards of directors. Top priority: trust, reputation, there must not only be a private conflict of interest, but also its visibility These principles should also be applied in the selection of the boards ”, says Minister M. Skuodis.

The Ministry of Transport and Communications plans to hold public consultations on how to improve the selection processes of the members of the collegiate bodies of all state companies.
