The Directorate for Inspection Affairs (UIP) could join the ranks of the Educational Inspectorate Nikola Dukaj, who was removed from the position of school director in Tuzi precisely at the suggestion of the educational inspectors, due to several irregularities in his work.

"Vijesti" learns, the Union of Education of Montenegro (SPCG) warned the director of the Administration, Ana Vujošević, about this.

"We believe that his election would contribute to the negative rating of the Directorate for Inspection Affairs", says the Union of Education in the information provided to Vujošević.

They specify that during his directorship at the "Mahmut Lekić" elementary school in Tuzi, Dukaj "was recognized for irregularities in his work, as well as for a bad atmosphere and interpersonal relations."

"After being appointed as a director in another institution, Elementary School 'Đerđ Kastrioti Skenderbeg', on the proposal of the Directorate for Inspection Affairs, i.e. the Education Inspector (Act No. 0601-741/20-6418/20 dated February 17, 2021), and by the decision of the Ministry of Education , science, culture and sports (number 10101-741/21-59/5 dated March 30, 2021) Dukaj was dismissed for abuse of the position of director, which will be confirmed by the judgment of the Basic Court in Podgorica P. no. 2641/21 of April 7, 2023," states the memo, which we had access to.

When asked about their position regarding the Union's letter, but also the fact that Dukaj was dismissed precisely at the suggestion of his future colleagues, the UIP replied to "Vijesta" that "The Administration strictly respects the equal availability of jobs and is guided by the principle that the jobs of civil servants are , that is, employees available to all, under equal conditions without favoring or denying any candidate for the advertised position".

Konkurs

On May 17, the Administration for Human Resources published an advertisement for the selection of two educational inspectors in Podgorica and one for the municipalities of Pljevlja, Žabljak, Šavnik and Plužine, with a place of work in Pljevlja.

According to the information from the advertisement, interested candidates should have graduated from university (VII1 qualification level) in the field of humanities or natural sciences, know how to work on a computer, have passed the professional exam for work in state bodies and at least one year of work experience.

According to "Vijesti" information, 22 candidates responded to the advertisement, 19 of them for Podgorica and four for Pljevlja.

After testing the candidates, on August 30, the Directorate for Human Resources submitted to the Directorate for Inspection Affairs a list of four candidates who met all the criteria for Podgorica and two for Pljevlja.

Dukaj is also on the list for Podgorica, as second-ranked.

After learning about the list proposed by the Human Resources Administration, the SPCG provided information about Dukaj's previous work to the director of the UIP, Ana Vujošević, the very next day, August 31.

Syndicate: He will be in a position with a sacred colleague

"The education union is aware that one of the candidates registered for the advertisement published by the Human Resources Directorate for the needs of the Directorate for Inspection Affairs is the education inspector and Mr. Nikola Dukaj, the dismissed principal of the elementary school "Đerđ Kastrioti Skenderbeg" in Zatrijepč. , in Tuzi, due to illegal actions.

SPCG, on the basis of knowledge of his previous career as a school manager, believes that his choice for the mentioned position would not be in accordance with the positive regulations on the appointment of personnel for this, above all, responsible duty where, among other things, personal and collective integrity should be appreciated and valued , the achievements of the institution, special skills, ability, impartiality and responsibility", says the letter of the President of the Trade Union Radomir Božović to the director of the UIP.

He specifies that Dukaj was recognized for irregularities in his work, both in the Elementary School "Mahmut Lekić" and in the Elementary School "Đerđ Kastrioti Skenderbeg".

As evidence, the Union submitted, among other things, texts from "Vijesti" from several years ago regarding the work of Dukaj.

From that labor organization, they emphasize that he was dismissed precisely at the suggestion of the educational inspectors.

"Starting from undeniable facts, the Education Union has the moral right and obligation to inform you, as the head of the body, about our findings in a timely manner. We believe that the appointment of Mr. Dukaj as an educational inspector would give him the wind at his back to start engaging in revanchism towards the principals and employees of Primary School 'Mahmut Lekić' and Primary School 'Đerđ Kastrioti Skenderbeg' in Tuzi, and all of the above, in our opinion, Mr. He does not recommend Dukaja for such a serious and responsible position. Also, we believe that his election would contribute to the negative rating of the Administration", said the Education Union.

Management: Everyone has equal chances

UIP told "Vijesta" that they responded to the union on Saturday, September 9.

They informed that organization about the procedures concerning the establishment of an employment relationship, verification of knowledge, abilities, competences and skills, lists for the selection of candidates, as well as decisions on the selection of candidates defined by the Law on Civil Servants.

"The Directorate for Human Resources participated in all the processes that preceded the submission of the final list of candidates to the Directorate for Inspection Affairs, and all conditions were met", it was stated in the response of the Directorate.

They also claim that this body "strictly respects the equal availability of jobs and is guided by the principle that the jobs of civil servants or state employees are available to everyone, under equal conditions without favoring or denying any candidate for the advertised position".

"In addition to the above, in order to monitor and evaluate the results of inspectors and other officials of the Directorate for Inspection Affairs, directly superior chief inspectors and assistant directors are obliged to monitor their work. For any action that is determined not to be in accordance with the law and the code of ethics, the procedures provided for by law are initiated to determine the responsibility of the official, while the evaluation of the employee's work is carried out through a regular annual evaluation and evaluation of the probationary work for a period of one year... Therefore, when there are justified reasons for this, in accordance with the law, procedures will be initiated in the Directorate for Inspection Affairs to determine the responsibility of employees, all with the aim of complying with the law, transparent work and protecting the reputation of this Directorate", replied the UIP.
