The constitutional appeals of the three representatives of the former employees of "Radoj Dakić", which were merged into one case, covered only 600 out of a total of 1800 employees. That's why we invite former workers to support the constitutional appeal with their signatures by next Wednesday, said this morning Milan Vukčević, the representative of workers at the protest meeting of the "Dakićians" in front of the Constitutional Court of Montenegro.

He pointed out that, after the opinion of Prime Minister Duško Marković, sent to the Constitutional Court regarding the initiative of the "Dakić residents" for the evaluation of Article 55 of the Bankruptcy Law, "they realized that they have the official Government against them", which is why they demand "that the court speed up the procedure and the adoption of the final decisions on appeals".

"We demand that the Constitutional Court stand in defense of the Constitution and not allow selective justice to be reserved only for five of our colleagues, lucky winners drawn from a hat," announced Vukčević.

According to final judgments, the "Dakić family" are demanding more than 77 million euros due to unpaid 60 monthly wages (and associated interest). In accordance with the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, which confirmed their denied rights, only five former workers were paid. They have been waiting for the payment of claims for 12 years.

"You know that only one lawyer received 820 euros, and his clients not even a dinar. Someone made this possible. We ask that this be at the top of the priorities of the Constitutional Court. Yesterday they paid 2 million euros to the A68,9A company, and with that much money they could solve the people's problem," added Vukčević.

He noted that non-material damages in the amount of 2.000 euros each, in accordance with the decision of the European Court, cannot be realized by the heirs of their deceased colleagues.

During the past decade, while waiting for the payment of money and the implementation of the final judgment, around 500 former workers have died.
