The Commercial Court of Montenegro rejected a claim by the bankrupt company Montenegro Airlines AD Podgorica, demanding that the state pay it 100.241.505 euros.
The verdict, which "Vijesti" had access to, states that such a request is unfounded, and that Montenegro Airlines, in bankruptcy, is obliged to compensate the state for the litigation in the amount of 20.250 euros.
In February 2023, the bankrupt Montenegro Airlines sued the state for alleged failure to fulfill obligations under a special lex specialis for this company, which was enacted by the government during the term of Prime Minister Duško Marković.
"The claim requesting that the defendant be obliged to pay the plaintiff, on behalf of the debt, and based on the Law on Investment in the Consolidation and Development of the Company for the Transport of Passengers and Goods in Air Transport "Montenegro Airlines" AD Podgorica, the amount of 100.241.505 euros with statutory default interest starting from 20.03.2023 until final payment, and on behalf of the calculated statutory interest starting from the date of filing the claim until 19.03.2023, the amount of 17.347.273 euros is rejected, as unfounded," reads the judgment of Judge Radmila Perović, which "Vijesti" has access to.
Montenegro Airlines in bankruptcy was represented by an attorney, Podgorica lawyer Boris Ćorsović, and the state by the Office of the Protector of Property and Legal Interests of Montenegro.
