Slovenia officially fields candidate to lead IAEA
Published in Saudi Press Agency on 16 - 04 - 2009


Slovenia's government today decided
to field former diplomat Ernest Petric as a candidate to lead the
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), further widening the pool
of potential successors to Mohamed ElBaradei, dpa reported.
Petric, 72, serves as a judge on Slovenia's Constitutional Court.
He previously represented his country as ambassador to Austria and
international organisations in Vienna, including the IAEA.
"The government is convinced that the candidate is able to manage
the agency professionally and effectively given his personal
qualities, diplomatic and managerial experience, and excellent
knowledge of the IAEA, as well as of problems and challenges faced by
the organisation," the Slovenian press agency STA quoted a government
press statement as saying.
Slovenia's candidate is an international law expert who has held
high-ranking positions dealing with multilateral diplomacy in the
Foreign Ministry.
IAEA member states have until April 27 to name new candidates for
Director General of the Vienna-based agency.
Neither Japanese ambassador Yukiya Amano, nor South African
diplomat Abdul Samad Minty got enough votes from the 35 countries on
the IAEA's governing board in a first session of voting in late
March.
