Yesterday, the company "Pomorski sabožbać" submitted a response to the letter of JP Morsko Dobro (JPMD), which on Thursday asked Pomorski sabrobač to submit an offer by Tuesday for the purchase of all ferries and equipment of that company, which until then was the operator of the only ferry line in the country on Kamenari-Lepetane route.

Last Sunday, JPMD, referring to the Government's conclusion, unilaterally terminated the contract with Maritime Transport from 2004 with an annex from 2019, according to which the company, owned by the Podgorica businessmen brothers Dejan and Dušan Ban and their partner Željko Mihailović, maintained the ferry line across of the Strait of Verige in Boka.

The contract was given to Maritime Transport until the selection of a concessionaire to which the Government would entrust the only ferry line in the country in the long term.

After the Management Board of JPMD, headed by Blažo Rađenović, sent them a letter stating that "the contract has ceased to be valid", Maritime Transport tied up its six ferries on Friday at midnight, and the Kamenari-Lepetane line has been maintained by JPMD since then. with the old ferry "Vasilije" rented from the construction company Briv Construction from Kotor, which cannot meet the demand for transport on the route between the two shores of the bay.

In a letter sent yesterday to the executive director of the JPMD, Mladen Mikijel, the co-owner and director of Maritime Transport, Dejan Ban, warned the state-owned company that it is bound by the Law on Public Procurement (ZKN) and that according to that law, "a negotiation procedure without prior publication of a public invitation for bidders" which the management of the JPMD wants to implement with Maritime Transport, "initiates in cases where one of the conditions from Article 59 of the PPL is met, and that is in the way that the tender documentation is submitted to one or more contracting parties--- for the purpose of submitting the initial offer".

"After all, submitting the specifications of the equipment that you needed was also your obligation according to the conclusion of the meeting on February 14. Since we did not receive the tender documentation with the request in question, which you, as the obligee of the application of the Public Procurement Act, were obliged to submit to us, but you did not submit it. nor the promised specification, we inform you that we are not able to respond to your request at this time," Ban said in a letter to Mikijelj.
