Dmitry Medvedev: Russian ministers must quit boardrooms

Mr Medvedev singled out the practice of ministers acting as regulators and company directors.

Russia's President Dmitry Medvedev has announced that by mid-2011 he wants government ministers to give up their seats on boards of directors.

The proposal is being seen as a potential blow to a close ally of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, Igor Sechin.

Bold move. We'll see if it bears out.

Good thinking but i still cant see how he can just do that. Does he not need the Doema to enforce this? Or can he do as he pleases. If so, this change will not make any difference...
