State secy Antal dismissed by govt

The government on Wednesday dismissed Investment Ministry State Secretary Marek Antal, who has requested to be relieved of his duties. At the same time, the cabinet appointed Jan Hargas, who has served as an adviser to the investment minister up to this point, to be Antal's successor. He is set to take up office on Thursday. Antal asked to be relieved of his duties last week, saying that he'd considered leaving the ministry back in March.
