He added that this anniversary is not much different from the previous one, because the business circumstances related to the economic and energy crisis have not changed much.
"The period from last year to this birthday was full of great business challenges for the company. Despite numerous problems caused, first of all, by the negative impacts of the global energy crisis that has been going on for too long, CEDIS has invested a lot of effort, knowledge and resources to make the system work reliably and efficiently," said Čađenović.
In this sense, CEDIS, as a strategic company and an important link of the power system, has achieved good results in achieving its basic function as a distribution system operator - providing reliable and high-quality electricity supply to users.
Čađenović stated that the year was particularly marked by the focus of all human and material resources on the preparation of the summer and winter tourist season.
"We can be proud of that, because during that period we did not have a single failure on the network and we repaired every reported failure of the end cores in record time", said Čađenović and added that the indicators are such that they are in very important business segments, such as loss reduction, achieved historic results and were more than successful.
He said that the company will work hard to further improve operations and increase the quality of customer service.
"We are faced with increasing demands that need to be met in a short period of time, especially related to the growing number of active customers. It is important that everyone in the large chain of CEDIS, from electricians in the field to employees in support services, sees the importance of their own, but and other links. We are ready to achieve even better results united and guided by each other," said Čađenović.
