The Podgorica Basic State Prosecutor's Office is still determining whether the assistant director of "Tržnica i pijaca" Marijana Petranović and the former head of the Protection and Rescue Service of the Capital City Andrija Čađenović will be held criminally liable for falsifying the certificate of volunteering, which served Petranović to sit in the official chair.
"In the aforementioned case formed at the Basic State Prosecutor's Office in Podgorica, actions are being taken with the aim of elucidating and establishing the factual situation. The case is still in the investigation phase", was answered two days ago by "Vijesti" from that prosecutor's office.
The administrative inspection previously established that Petranović will have to return all the wages she received in that company, because she could not perform that function.
Despite such a finding by the Administrative Inspection, which checked the employment of the assistant director in July, labor inspector Razija Vujović found Petranović in that position on November 4.
On that day, she ordered the director of "Markets and Markets", Ranko Jovanović, to remove the irregularities and inform them within seven days about the measures and actions taken.
"The labor inspectorate has taken all the measures and actions within its jurisdiction, and as far as the wages paid to Marijana Petranović are concerned, it is up to the employer to claim the amount of wages paid to the named person, given that there has been damage to the employer," the labor inspector for the field of labor relations and employment writes in the finding.
Jovanović is silent on whether the assistants will ask for salaries
Jovanović has not yet answered the questions of "Vijesta" about the status of his assistant, nor whether he will order her to compensate the company. He did not answer whether and when the Administrative Inspection pointed out irregularities to them.
On September 24, that company claimed that on July 5, when the inspection was carried out, "no irregularities were noted in the minutes regarding the issue of the announced public tender."
"In the event that the competent authorities determine possible irregularities and illegalities and inform us about it, the company 'Tržnice i pijace' will act in accordance with the law," they said at the end of September.
However, they had known about the irregularities since July 5, when inspector Jovana Nišavić stated that the decision on Petranović's selection was final and could only be reviewed in court, but she found that she had submitted false information during her employment:
"Because it was established on the basis of the inspection supervision of Administrative Inspector Jovana Nišavić, that Marijana Petranović did not perform volunteer work in the Protection and Rescue Service of the Capital City of Podgorica, and that the certificate issued as proof that Marijana Petranović performed volunteer work in the Protection and Rescue Service cannot be treated as proof of work experience when establishing an employment relationship, considering that its credibility was contested by the Administrative Inspection and the administrative inspector submitted the case files to the ODT Podgorica, in order to take criminal responsibility against the director of the Protection and Rescue Service and the appointed Marijana Petranović who used a certificate of volunteer work in order to establish an employment relationship", reads the finding of inspector Vujović dated November 4.
Čađenović claimed that everything was fine
"Vijesti" previously announced that Petranović came to office with the help of a falsified certificate of volunteer work in legal affairs in the Capital City's SZS. The certificate that Petranović, a specialist in legal sciences, volunteered in the SZS from June 25, 2015 to November 1, 2016, was issued to her by the former commander of that service, Andrija Čađenović.
However, under the official number under which her conviction was filed, a letter sent to the Secretariat for Culture of the Capital City was filed in the books of the SZS.
At the time, Petranović did not want to answer "Vijesta" whether and if so when she volunteered at the Podgorica Fire Department.
Unlike her, Čađenović claimed even then that Petranović was volunteering.
