There is no example in the region or in Europe that the interest of the entire economic branch of a country is subordinated to the interests of one person, nor that the fate of the forest wealth of a country is left to an irresponsible individual, except in Montenegro, where the wood processing industry is practically captured by Brković's "Vektra Jakić ", according to the announcement of the Democrats.

As they say, that company once employed over 1000 workers, but today only 16.

"Before the DPS implemented its investments, the company "Vektra Jakić" employed over 1000 workers. Today, only 16 employees work in this company. In the first phase, half of them were fired, then the number of employees was reduced to 250, and then again In recent weeks, a partial layoff of 20 to 30 employees has been carried out. Today, only 16 employees work in this company, 10 of which are in the administration and 6 in the Energana plant," stated the announcement of Demokrat.

They note that Brković owes his employees 18 wages.

"It is important to note that Brković owes his employees as much as 18 wages. In addition to what he owes to his employees, he owes the state, the municipality and suppliers several tens of millions of euros," says the statement by the Democrats.

"The attitude of this company towards forests is catastrophic. We remind you that during the termination of the concession contract, it was established that Vektra Jakić continuously violates the provisions on the construction and maintenance of forest roads, because instead of building 155 kilometers of forest roads, it built a total of 35 kilometers," announced Demokratska. Montenegro.

In the statement, the Democrats add that due to the failure to take into account the health of the forests, 80 cubic meters of forest were dried.

"Due to the fact that Brković's company did not undertake mandatory health protection measures, as many as 80 cubic meters of forest were dried up. According to the Forestry Administration, the company was supposed to plant 3.143 hectares of new forests from the beginning of the concession contract, but it planted only 319 hectares, that is, it fulfilled only 10,1 percent of its obligation," the statement added.

"Brković is just one of Đukanović's "investors" who, by destroying natural and economic resources, accumulated their wealth. All this with the tolerance of lawlessness and the support of corrupt institutions. In recent days, there has been a public conflict between the Forest Administration and Brković's company on the topic of responsibility for the current situation, while the workers and the economy suffer," concludes the announcement of Democratic Montenegro.
