The Minister of Energy and Mining, Saša Mujović, said that no sale of Elektroprivreda (EPCG) is out of the question, nor was it discussed in the Government.
"The sale of a part of EPCG was not discussed, it is a story of a political nature. If you have that part of the ownership structure belongs to a renowned foreign company, if such a company finds interest in investing in one of our companies, it will also take care of how we deal with their money and they won't let us make a decision to buy, for example, Željezar, to finance something that is unsustainable and unprofitable," said Mujović at a press conference after the Government session.
He said that with the Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Policy, Niko Đeljošaj, on Monday plans to visit the Ironworks.
"And I hope that then I will be smarter and know the position of both sides. From Milutin Đukanović, based on the information I have, they consider Željezara's perspective bright".
Mujović said that "war events everywhere in the world create a need for special steels".
"It's Željezara's chance. From the aspect of Željezara's management, the situation is indisputable, they believe that they have a perspective and that it is a sustainable project. I'm waiting to hear the position of the workers."
He also stated that according to some plans of EPCG management, part of the workers should be redirected and trained for security.
"We have room to hope, but I want us to face the arguments," said the Minister of Energy and Mining.
Mujović also said yes cannot decisively claim that the price of electricity will not rise, but irhe hoped they wouldn't work on her growing up.
"This Government will be responsible no matter what happens. Everyone will be protected. The low price of electricity is not only paid by citizens, but by supermarket chains, hotels... Has any of them done anything to protect the interests of citizens and lower their prices? Why? hotels that pay a low price for electricity do not show solidarity with Sana and lower prices. Here we have one side that is always under attack," said Mujović.
