It is still unknown whether the Assembly, or rather the Administrative Board, will renew the competition for the appointment of the President and two members of the Board of the Regulatory Agency for Energy and Regulated Utilities (REGAGEN), although the EU Delegation to Montenegro has officially announced that the competition needs to be harmonized with European directives and re-announced.

"Vijesti" asked the Parliament whether and when the Administrative Board would renew the competition, and the Parliament responded that the Administrative Board had not yet met on this issue, and that the public would be informed of all subsequent activities in a timely manner.

The EU Delegation told the Mina-business agency that they had sent a letter to the Montenegrin authorities regarding the public call, which the Parliament published on January 21, which relates to the appointment of the president and two members of the REGAGEN Board.

"In the aforementioned letter, we called on the institutions to take the necessary corrective measures to bring the call into line with the obligations of Directive (EU) 2019/944 concerning common rules for the internal market in electricity, in particular Article 57(5)(e), and to republish it accordingly," the EU Delegation said.

The EU, as they stated, together with experts from the Energy Community Secretariat (EC), reviewed the conditions and criteria set out in the invitation.

Prophet Bogdan Božović, who is the rapporteur of the Administrative Committee for this item, told "Dan" that they did everything according to the procedure that was in force in the previous period, and that part of the work they did according to the professional service was done properly.
