The President of the Municipality of Pljevlja Dario Vraneš and his associates prevented the dismantling of the asphalt base in the Pljevlja village of Bušnje, which was used by the company "Vektra Jakić" after the purchase of the Pljevlja company "Građevinar" and its removal to Podgorica.
The work of dismantling the stationary stone mill was stopped after Vraneš and his colleagues visited the place.
"After learning that the workers are dismantling the asphalt base plant in Židovici with the intention of transferring it to Podgorica, the mayor of the municipality Dario Vraneš and his colleagues intervened on the spot and prevented its alienation. "Immediately after the surprise visit of the mayor of the municipality with his associates, the workers who were engaged in dismantling the asphalt base plant moved away in an unknown direction," the office of the mayor of Pljevlja announced.
Vraneš, after thwarting the alienation of the asphalt base, publicly called on the prosecution and the police to investigate the whole case because according to the information they have, Dragan Brković is not the owner of the asphalt base in Pljevlje, but only received concessions for the exploitation of stone in the Bušnje quarry for a few years.
Vraneš also supported the former workers of "Vektra Jakić", to whom Brković owes wages for several months, in order not to allow the alienation of valuable property.
A group of people with machinery started dismantling the asphalt base in Bushnji on Sunday, and the former workers do not know whether Brković had the necessary documentation and permits.
"They dismantle what our fathers built and what was bought for a small amount of money. Where are the police to see if these people have valid documentation to transport our suffering to Podgorica. If this happened in Nikšić, Bijelo Polje or somewhere else, everyone would be on their feet, from workers to local officials. Most of the workers who built this are not alive, and the other part left Pljevlje. This is a shame for all of us, that on Sundays when no one is working, they come without papers and take them away," said one of the workers to whom Brković claims he owes 15 wages.
"Vektra Montenegro", owned by Brković, sued the state in 2019 due to, as it is stated, an unfounded claim by the Ministry of Economy for concessions for the Bušnje quarry in Pljevlja, amounting to almost half a million euros.
According to the lawsuit, three years after Vektra Montenegro bought the property from the bankrupt Građevinar Pljevlja company, the Ministry of Economy concluded a contract on the exploitation of technical-building stone with that company, which was also signed by Vektra.
According to the contract, as claimed by that company, it is stipulated that upon payment of the purchase price for the property of "Građevinar" and the conclusion of bankruptcy, all rights and obligations related to the concession will be transferred to "Vektra Montenegro".
