He will file a criminal complaint against the Government's partner: We were deceived...

Vladimir Popović from Budva and Carles Collu Palou from Spain will file a criminal complaint against the government's first partners in the construction of wind farms on Možura.

This was confirmed to the "News" by a man from Budva and a Spaniard who, more than four years ago, filed a lawsuit against the companies BWP Montenegro, BWP Europe Consulting SL and Fersa Energias Renovables before the Basic Court in Podgorica, because, as they claim, they were not paid a commission of 2.000.000 each. euros, for contracting work.

They claim that they were cheated out of money, although their job, as they say, was to provide the Spanish Fersa with this job through the company BWP Montenegro, whose representative was Milena Popović, the daughter of long-time union leader Danil Popović.

"They deceived us, but we hope that the court will not succeed in deceiving them," said the Spaniard to "Vijesta".

They added that, in consultation with lawyers, they will decide these days which criminal acts will be charged against the actors involved in the construction of windmills on the hill between Bar and Ulcinj.

"Claiming at the trial that you paid money to a company that doesn't exist is scandalous to say the least," said the Spaniard.

The company BWP Europe Consulting, with which the Spanish Fersa claims to have cooperated in the construction of wind farms on Možura, was never established.

According to a document from the registry in Barcelona, ​​which "Vijesti" had access to, such a company has never been registered in that country.

The representative of "Ferse", lawyer Milica Savić, did not want to answer the question of "Vijesti" how the company she represents cooperated with the non-existent company.

Director of Fersa Anabel Lopez claimed earlier at the trial in the Basic Court that the only company that was in charge of obtaining permits for the construction of windmills on Možura was the company BWP Europe Consulting, and that Fersa did not cooperate with anyone else before signing the contract with the Government.

She then said that she did not remember that Fersa had any cooperation with BWP Montenegro, and that she did not know who was the director of that company.

And in the response to the lawsuit, it is pointed out that "Fersa" did not hire the plaintiffs on any basis, and that the contracts were concluded only with the Montenegrin Government and BWP Europe Consulting.

The Spaniard added that it is obvious why the company BWP Montenegro was shut down two months before the start of the trial in the Podgorica Basic Court.

"All actors will be covered by a criminal report," he said.

According to CRPS data, the company BWP Montenegro was closed on April 12 last year, which means that it was active for years while waiting for the start of the trial in the Basic Court in Podgorica.

The man from Budvanin added that they believe in the Montenegrin judiciary, and that is why they decided to initiate proceedings before the Montenegrin courts.

"This is my country and I am asking the Montenegrin court to protect me," Popović concluded.

In the contract signed between Fersa and BWP Europe, which was then being founded, and which "Vijesti" had access to, it is written that Fersa was supposed to pay 100.000 euros per megawatt to BWP Montenegro.

Given that the project signed with the Government in 2010 envisaged the construction of a 46 megawatt windmill, this would mean that Fersa was obliged to pay 4.600.000 euros to BWP Montenegro.

In addition, it is written in the contract that the company BWP Europe was still being established when the contract was signed with Fers.

Earlier, it could be heard that this kind of contract, which is written on less than three pages, and refers to a project worth 65.000.000 euros, is a classic example of hiding money flows.

The Special Prosecutor's Office had previously launched an investigation due to suspicions of possible corruption of state officials in the construction of wind farms in Možura.

There is no annex to the contract yet, the first windmill has been installed

The contract for the lease of land and the construction of the Možura HPP was signed in 2010 with the Fersa & Čelebić consortium, which included the Spanish Fersa Energias Renovables and Čelebić from Podgorica, who has since left the job.

The contract was signed on behalf of the Government by then Minister of Economy Branko Vujović.

According to that contract, the owners of VE will receive subsidies of 115 million euros from electricity consumers for 12 years of operation.

In 2015, with the consent of the Government, the investor transferred the rights and obligations from the lease agreement to a new tenant, the company Enemalta plc, whose majority owner is the Government of Malta, and 30 percent is owned by Shanghai Electric Power.

After that, 90 percent of the shares in the subsidiary company Možura Wind Park were transferred to the company Malta Montenegro Wind Power JV Ltd.

In the explanation of the Government's consent decision, it is written that the owners of that company are International Renewable Energy Development ltd from Malta (70%), the offshore company Vestigo Clean Energy I ltd (20%) and Envision Energy International ltd from Hong Kong (10%).

The deadline for the completion of the wind farm on Možura expired in November last year, and the annex to the concession agreement has not yet been signed. In the meantime, in the middle of this month, the first windmill was installed on the Možura hill, out of the planned 23.
