Husić resigned, Kaljević acting director of UPSUL

After only one year as the first man of the Administration of Maritime Safety and Port Management of Montenegro (UPSUL), Haris Husić resigned from the position of director of this administration.

Instead of Husić, the Government of Montenegro appointed Nebojša Kaljević, Master of Economics from Podgorica, as the new acting director of UPSUL.

Until now, Kaljević was a member of the Board of Directors of the maritime company Barska plovidba, he is an expert in foreign trade operations and customs procedures, but he has no experience or work references in the field of maritime affairs and maritime administration.

Husić became the head of UPSUL as acting director at the end of December last year.

This Baranin with a diploma in maritime management specialist, before that he sailed as the first deck officer on merchant ships of the Dabinović company from Monaco, and he was brought to the head of UPSUL as a cadre of the ruling PES.

His father used to work at UPSUL, and Husić's mother and sister are also employed in this administration. The government of Montenegro, led by Milojko Spajić (PES), entrusted Husić with the acting directorship of UPSUL on two occasions, and then at the end of September appointed him as a full-time director.

However, due to the way in which the Government conducted a public competition for the director of this state administration and some controversies regarding Husić's documentation, which allegedly proved that he had the required work experience in management positions, but it turned out that it was in a private family company and that at the time when, according to his matriculation, Husić was boarded on the ship as an officer, some of the candidates who also applied filed lawsuits against the Government and threatened criminal charges.

This, according to unofficial information from "Vijesti", influenced Husić's sudden decision to step down from the head of UPSUL and resign after only three months of work as a full-time director.

He will resume his professional career on merchant ships.

Vada's solution to replace Husić as acting director with Kaljević is also, as "Vijesti" has unofficially learned, of limited duration, i.e. he was allegedly brought in to complete the work of awarding some concessions in the field of port and towing and pilotage services, after which UPSUL should receive the second, final director in full term.
