Vektra Boka rented the Plaža hotel in Herceg Novi to a company from Budva in order to avoid the inflow of funds to the company's account, which is blocked and thereby prevent the payment of workers, said the president of the non-governmental organization (NGO) Former employees of Vektra Boka, Đorđe Rajak.
He did not mention the name of the company to which the hotel was allegedly rented, but that they only "have information".
Not even a year after the part of the Bankruptcy Law ceased to be valid by the decision of the Constitutional Court, which created the conditions for all workers' claims to be in the first payment queue, former workers of Vektra Boka cannot exercise that right even though they have priority over all other creditors .
According to the company's reorganization plan, which was adopted at the beginning of 2017, employee claims related to the payment of taxes and contributions were placed in the third instead of the first payment order.
"Several months ago, we wrote to the employer, the bankruptcy judge and the bankruptcy administrator with the request to comply with the constitutional and court decisions. Now they have also turned to the Tax Administration to take measures so that around 100 workers can realize their rights and collect their claims," Rajak .
He stated that the workers received the first installment of claims from the third payment order, but that no one guarantees them that the other three will also be paid.
"We are waiting for the authorities' response to pay us what is due to us based on our work," says Maja Pajević.
In June 2015, the Commercial Court declared bankruptcy in "Vektra Bok", due to a debt of four million euros to the Montenegrin Commercial Bank.
The reorganization plan, which the company is obliged to fulfill in five years, received a final decision from the Commercial Court in February 2017.
In the meantime, "Vektra Boka" sold the complex on Žanjica, so the workers and their legal representatives then claimed that the money from the sale was not paid into the company's account, because, as they explained at the time, the creditors would have been paid and the account unblocked.
