Slovenia’s leader picked a former prime minister to lead the central bank — a step that would push aside current Governor Bostjan Vasle, whose candidacy lacked political support.
Anton Rop, who’s also a former finance minister, was formally proposed on Wednesday by President Natasa Pirc Musar. She said she chose the candidate who “demonstrated the most professional, scientific and managerial experience in the field of banking, management and leading large systems.”
