The municipality of Pljevlja is demanding a payment of 2,37 million euros from the local coal mine (RUP) and default interest for the completed investment works, in a dispute that has been going on against that company for more than 11 years. RUP, on the other hand, demanded that this lawsuit be dismissed as unfounded.
This could be heard yesterday during the presentation of the final proposals in this dispute in the Court of Appeal. The judge Danijela Vukčević she emphasized that the court will make a decision later.
The municipality of Pljevlja and RUP are arguing regarding the fulfillment of the contract concluded almost twenty years ago, according to which the largest company in Pljevlja was supposed to pay the fee for the development of construction land to the local government through the financing of project documentation and several projects with a total value of more than five million euros.
At the end of 2019, the Commercial Court ruled in favor of the Municipality and obliged RUP to fulfill the contractual obligations, but the Court of Appeal overturned such a decision. The Supreme Court then annulled the earlier judgment of the Appellate Court and sent the case back for a retrial.
RUP lawyer Ana Jelić she had objections to the expert opinion of the construction profession Oliver Marković, who was heard on the occasion of the second and third supplement of the findings he made.
Jelić proposed that Marković make another addition to the opinion in order to determine the level of the work performed, but the Court Council rejected this request. She also asked for the postponement of the hearing in order to express her opinion on the modification of the lawsuit, which was presented to the lawyers of the Municipality. Samira Zlatanić i Negica Manojlović approved yesterday, but that proposal was also rejected.
