Former employees of the Ironworks blocked the gate, claiming that the former owner is taking away parts important for the future operation of the plant

Former workers of the Nikšić Ironworks blocked the factory's cargo gate because, as they claim, the former owner of the company "Tosčelik" is taking away parts that are important for the future operation of the plant.

"The Turks are planning to export spare parts and tools from the Radvent and Kovačnica plants, which are very important for the functioning of the future factory. We have information that two trucks have already been loaded. Some colleagues entered the factory and saw what was happening," said worker representative Ivan Vujović.

According to him, they also informed the representatives of the Electric Power Company of Montenegro (EPCG) about the current situation, from whom they expect to react.

"They told us from Elektroprivreda that loading has been suspended for today, but that the Turks want these two loaded trucks to leave the factory. From EPCG they told us that they do not know if these parts were included in the inventory during the sale of the factory. Our position is that we must first inspect what is in the trucks and we will not allow essential parts to be exported. We invite Elektroprivreda to talk to the representatives of Tosčelik and request that such essential parts be purchased, because we cannot make structures or substructures without this material, which are planned to export," said Vujović.

He claims that the former owner has been exporting parts for 10, 15 days and that no one is responding.

"Their goal is to leave a wasteland. We will not allow them to export it, not because of us, but because of the further functioning of the factory," pointed out Vujović.
