Ljubljana - The supervisory board of Elektro Ljubljana, Slovenia's largest electricity distributor, dismissed on Friday the company's chairman Andrej Ribič, reported the N1 portal, quoting the Pozareport portal's Twitter post.

The reason for the dismissal is not known, and the current chief financial officer Marjan Ravnikar is to take over the management of the company, N1 said.

There has been talk about Ribič's replacement since state representatives on the supervisory board were replaced in June, as he is believed not to be to the government's liking, N1 said. His term was supposed to end in March 2022.
