Interview: Goran Brankovič, Slovenian Railways
Assuming an Active Role

Brankovič is nevertheless confident that the company can become a successful logistics player, but some conditions need to be met.

A small success in this regard is his recent meeting with the CEO of Deutsche Bahn, which is especially interested in cooperation with Slovenske železnice in the field of cargo traffic.

This is reason enough to talk to company CEO, Rudolf Klötscher. -
