The former head of the Podgorica fire department, Radomir Pješčić, received over 16.000 euros, due to less paid wages during the period when he managed that city service.

This is the first-instance verdict of the Podgorica Basic Court judge Arsenij Gatolin, who ruled that Pješčić should be paid 2 euros in the period from June 6, 2010 to February 1, 2, based on compensation for underpaid wages.

"As well as the legal interest starting from the due date of each separate claim until the date of the findings and opinion by the financial expert in the total amount of 5.080,04 euros, as well as the legal interest on the principal debt from the day of the judgment until the final payment", the spokeswoman of that court, Anja Krkeljić Milić, confirmed to "Vijesta".

Pješčić has been working in the services of the Capital City for nine years. He was the head of the Podgorica Protection and Rescue Service for five years, after which he became an adviser to former mayor Slavoljub Stijepović, now suspected of money laundering.

After that, since last year, he also advises the current mayor of Podgorica, Ivan Vuković.

During the time he was in charge of the Protection Service, lawsuits from employed firefighters "poured in".

Thus, the firefighters sued and were paid for the illegal calculation of overtime hours, but also for the cameras, which for more than three years illegally recorded the interior of the facility of the Podgorica Protection Service at the Old Airport.

Pješčić's leadership of that Service was also marked by the purchase of an expensive range rover jeep in 2011 for almost 72.000 euros.

It was former mayor Stijepović who took over the "range rover" towards the end of Pješčić's term at the head of the fire department. The Capital tried to sell the jeep on several occasions, but without success, and now it is used by the mayor.

Also, several years ago, inspectors for economic crime took over some suspicious contracts and tender documentation for the procurement of equipment from the Protection Service from the time when Pješčić was at the head of it.
