BRATISLAVA, Aug. 31 (Xinhua) -- Arpad Ersek from the Most-Hid party was appointed as the new Slovak transport, construction and regional development minister by President Andrej Kiska on Wednesday.
Ersek replaced Roman Brecely from Siet party, who resigned from the post on Monday.
The changes in the governing coalition come as five members of parliament from Siet resigned. Most-Hid is now assuming posts at individual ministries hitherto held by Siet.
Moreover, the coalition of Smer-SD, SNS, Most-Hid and Siet has dropped the latter to become a three-party coalition.
Under Brecely, Ersek served as the ministry's state secretary. He held the same post under former transport minister Jan Figel (2010-12) as well.
Ersek's self-proclaimed main tasks as transport minister include launching preparations of project documents for roads that are needed the most in Slovakia.
He said that it was a big mistake to neglect the construction of the R7, R2, R3 and R4 expressways, which will connect Northern and Eastern Slovakia with the richest part of the country in the West.
The history of the Oldenburg horse dates back to the early 1600?s by achieving its name and fame through Europe?s Count Anton G?nther von Oldenburg who was a renowned horseman and a great supporter of the breed.
Three important events helped to shape the breed: the first stallion approved decreed by state lay in the year 1820 with the introduction of the register or origins in 1861 Jonas Gustavsson Oilers Jersey , and the foundation of the two horse breeding societies by the Horse Breeding Act of April 9, 1897. These two were merged in the year 1923 and The Oldenburg Horse Breeders Society was formed. The breed refinement measures were introduced in 1935 with a thoroughbred stallion, Lupus xx and in 1950 by Condor. Due to the success breeder had with Condor Jesse Puljujarvi Oilers Jersey , many breeders turned to the French Stallions around the end of the 1960?s.
Furioso II was the first Anglo-Norman of modern breeding. This sire is held in the utmost regard. The French Anglo-Arabian stallion, Inschallah AA was used in Oldenburg in small doses with great success.
A privately owned Oldenburg Stallion, Donnerhall Jean-Francois Jacques Oilers Jersey , born in 1981 became one of the most successful sires of his generation in Germany. He holds the highest dressage breeding value index (271) of all stallions. He placed second among seventy stallions at his performance test and went on to become the DLG Champion in 1986. Donnerhall won more than 65 FEI Level and Grand Prix competitions and competed successfully until he was retired at the age of seventeen. His remarkable success as an international competitor and breeding stallion has made him one of the most successful dressage stallions in the world today. He has over 77 approved sons (all registries), 450 broodmares, 84 which are State Premium Jari Kurri Oilers Jersey , and over 636 competition horses. In 1994 in Den Haag, he was a member of the gold winning team at the World Championships in Dressage and won the individual Bronze Medal. He is a member of the current European Championship Team and won the individual Bronze Medal. This horse has made a tremendous impact on the sport horse breeding
