The Trade Union Organization of Radio Television of Montenegro (RTCG) has filed a complaint with the Administrative Court against the Council of RTCG and the General Director of the Public Service, Boris Raonic.
"On the basis of the Law on Administrative Disputes, wanting to protect the public interest, the rights of workers and union members, we are filing a lawsuit against the RTCG Council (under indictment) and the general director (under several criminal charges) because by issuing a Public Advertisement for solving the housing needs of RTCG employees violated the public interest and the rights of workers of long-term professionals in RTCG", according to the statement submitted by the former candidate for the general director of RTCG Časlav Vujotić.
"The entire documentation on which the Public Advertisement is based, which was never given to the trade union organization Public Radio Diffusion Service Radio and Television of Montenegro for inspection and comments, has formal and essential omissions. They were made with intent by the illegal general director and approved by the Council "RTCG, which illegally elected Boris Raonic several times, are now under the indictment of the ODT," it added.
They said that the public competition was announced by the commission on November 27, in which there is not a single lawyer from the RTCG Legal Service.
"On the competition published on the RTCG portal, there is not even a signature of the illegal general director. Unfortunately, this is a continuation of the tradition in which persons without administrative and professional experience are delegated to commissions for multimillion-dollar tenders. This is how the delegation of persons in the digitalization tender was handled for a time. The rulebook on solving housing needs (November 26, 2024, 01-8642) came out after the education of the commission (October 30, 2024, no. 01-7754) to which the illegal director of the RTCG delegated people loyal to him, without notifying the members of the previously appointed Commission that he expelled them from the composition," the announcement reads.
"So even today on the RTCG portal there is the Decision on the formation of the commission dated 04.10.2023 and 05.07.2023, but the representatives of the trade union organization Public Radio Broadcasting Service Radio and Television of Montenegro were expelled from it. This was preceded by the abolition of the representativeness of the said union in the action was initiated by the president of another organization of this type, called the Employees' Union, which was "sent away" by people from the general director's office by offering advantages in distribution and forms. This is already a detail that we will attach to most of the above and to the new criminal report to the ODT," it is added.
They pointed out that the distribution of apartments in RTCG is done on the basis of documentation that was brought "in absolutely illegal processes with essential and formal deficiencies".
"She favors the followers of Raonic, who have recently come and received solutions with a very high coefficient, even though they do not deserve it professionally, and they were handed over by an illegal director. It will be absurd if lawyers who do not participate in the work of the Commission, and are responsible for the legal chaos in the RTCG, they get apartments, even though they have only been in the RTCG for a few years. In addition to these examples, we also note that the RTCG Collective Agreement was adopted in a non-transparent procedure in which the appointed Commission never sat in full composition, the illegal general director put pressure on the negotiation team, especially one union," the statement said.
The Trade Union Organization RTCG said that it is interesting that the coefficients in that collective agreement were shared without looking at the Systematization Table with the job description and the complexity coefficient.
"That was later changed without the insight and approval of the Union. Thus, the official Systematization Table that circulates as a document on the RTCG Portal, but also in DRI and the Revenue Administration from 2017, without the specified coefficients. The systematization table signed by Drljević is in internal use and its refined text was the subject of the session on April 15, 2024, but the members of the RTCG Council agreed not to adopt it, even though it is essential and numerically completely different from the one published on the Portal. So, we rightly suspect that apart from the dishonest intentions of the RTCG management, with the intention of distributing apartments to loyal people who are ready to betray the profession, there have also been drastic formal and substantive errors, both legal and who do not treat equally people who have the most knowledge, education and professional experience, as it should be according to the Labor Law and the principles of the Collective Agreement, but were created by distributing solutions without criteria irregular conditions for sharing apartments and lucrative gains for those who deserve it the least," the statement reads.
"We remind you that most of the members of the RTCG Council are under indictment, and Raonic is under criminal charges. We also remind you that, according to Raonic's lawyers, on August 29, 2024, with the annulment of the Decision on his appointment from August 6, 2021, all legal consequences and decisions. Thus, all acts created by him lose their validity. We will forward the majority of this lawsuit to the ODT because We believe that the above-mentioned actions are the continuation of the activities of an organized group that wastes the resources of citizens and the state in an inappropriate manner," it concludes.
