Ukraine’s railway company head: Ukrzaliznytsia has no development strategy

Wojciech Balczun, the Chairman of the Board of Ukraine's state-owned railway company Ukrzaliznytsia, says that Ukrzaliznytsia should prepare a long-term strategy for rolling stock development and a strategy for company’s development before it starts modernizing and purchasing facilities. 

"First we should prepare a long-term strategy for the rolling stock development. We doesn’t have such a strategy. Frankly speaking, we don’t even have a company's development strategy. We’ve started to develop it in recent months. We’re creating not a virtual, but the main operating document that will determine how the company will develop in the long term,” he said in an interview with the Ukrainian Novoe Vremya internet publication.

Balczun also added that Ukrzaliznytsia used to have only short-term development programs.
