President of the Board of Directors of EPCG Steel Maksim Vucinic submitted his irrevocable resignation from membership in the Board of Directors, it was announced from that state-owned company
The resignation followed almost two and a half months after Vučinić was elected to that position.
"It was an honor for me to hold a high position in our company, EPCG-Željezari Nikšić. I am submitting my irrevocable resignation from membership in the Board of Directors," said Vučinić, as stated in the press release.
On the day he resigned from the Board of Directors of Željezara, Vučinić acquired the right to use the parliamentary allowance for one year after the termination of office.
He did not explain why he resigned, and he did not even answer the call of "Vijesti", which planned to ask him about the reason for his resignation.
EPCG Željezara is a daughter of Elektroprivreda Crne Gora, which started its work at the end of February this year.
The resignation of Vučinić followed the turbulent events in that Nikšić factory, which fell into financial problems immediately after its foundation.
Namely, the Board of Directors of Željezar dismissed the executive director at the end of last month Đorđija Manojlović due to, as they said, the failure to implement the business plan, and appointed the head of the legal department of the company as the acting executive director of Željezara Radojka Jeretin.
"The situation in the factory is bad because of non-compliance with the business plan and some, shall I say, unnecessary delays that were made at the very beginning, when work started at the Ironworks. I'm thinking of registering for public procurement, project tasks, due to the delay of certain items, the results of which are imput for the next steps. As for investments, we had a chain delay," Vučinić said after the dismissal of Manojlović.
The dismissed executive director of EPCG-Željezara Nikšić, Đorđije Manojlović, said that he was proud of everything he did with the team and workers at that factory, that he was grateful to the parent company for the position he held, that the optimal number of workers were employed, and that the business plan made by the parent company was "oversized".
In addition, the company's account was blocked and the value of the block on November 3 was almost 110 thousand euros. Although they did not want the factory to say which company had blocked the account, as "Vijesti" unofficially found out, it was the company "Hemosan" from Bar to which Željezara owed about 140 thousand euros on account of work (waste removal).
