Employees of the Institute "Dr. Simo Milošević" in Igalo protested today because of the attempt of the Board of Directors to remove the current acting director Savo Marić and to appoint Milan Jančić from the SNP in his place.
Representatives of the Municipality, trade unions and minority owners agreed to urgently request a meeting in the Government in order to find a solution for that health facility, the RTCG portal reports.
The gathered workers and citizens did not allow Marić to be dismissed, and then Žarko Rakčević appeared, who owns 27 percent of the Institute's shares and who explained, among other things, that the institution is threatened with bankruptcy.
"I knew there was dissatisfaction among the workers, but I came to talk. As an economist and owner of shares and who wishes well for the Institute, in my view, there is a tendency for the Institute to be torn apart and go bankrupt. I am worried about the fate of the institution, and I agree with you that this is a political carousel. As a representative of one of the owners, I am interested in not appointing people based on politics. It is not good that every three, six months people are changing who encounter this for the first time. The institute is on the verge of bankruptcy, in the last three years "There is a loss of EUR 27 million. If he goes bankrupt, he will certainly fail and will never recover, and will suffer the same fate as 'Radoje Dakić,'" said Rakčević.
He emphasized that for three years he has been asking the state, as the majority owner, to change its relationship with the Institute, in which he has 55 percent of the shares, but that appeals to all previous managements were unsuccessful. He says that it is a strange attitude of the state, which helps and rescues private companies, but does not care about the one in which it is the majority owner.
The Vice President of the Municipality, Miloš Konjević, offered for the Municipality to buy shares of the Institute.
At the meeting of representatives of the Municipality, trade unions and shareholders that followed, and which was also attended by the President of the Municipality Stevan Katić, a consensus was reached to initiate an urgent meeting in the Government, so that the state, which is the majority owner, would help solve the problem.
The meeting of the Board of Directors was postponed and Savo Marić will remain until the next acting director of the Institute.
