Kleinbergs was appointed Chairman of the Board of Governors of LDz in March 2020 and his term was until 2025. Now his final work day is February 9.

This year the LDz Council was also experiencing changes, with the removal of Juris Kaļeņuks and Andris Maldups from their posts.

LDz is the Latvian public-use railway infrastructure manager and includes six subsidiaries responsible for infrastructure, cargo, rolling stock, security, and logistics.
