Naftogaz Ukrainy mgmt could change - source

KYIV. Jan 16 (Interfax) - The Ukrainian government may in the near future address a management change at national oil and gas stock company Naftogaz Ukrainy, an informed source told Interfax.

It is possible this could be on the table for the cabinet of ministers meeting today, the source said.

Yevheniy Bakulin chairs the company's management board.

The market thinks the issue has something to do with changes at the top of the Energy and Coal Ministry late last year.

But Coal and Energy Minister Eduard Stavitsky said stability was needed at the height of the heating season and that a change at the helm of Naftogaz would be inappropriate.
