The Budva utility company is falling into an increasingly difficult situation day by day, and the new director Ilija Gigović, who is practically unable to take over the company, has received a warning from the Tax Administration that as early as Monday, it could block the company's account due to a debt of 652.000 euros in unpaid contributions.
This was unofficially confirmed to "Vijesti".
Namely, as the new director was presented with, more than half a year's salary in the company, the former management, headed by director Predrag Ivanović, who was dismissed by the Board of Directors on November 12th last year, was paid without paying taxes and correspondence.
The tax administration has apparently been more than tolerant for months of salaries being paid without contributions, and the debt finally came due at the time when the new director was supposed to move into the office, which has been under lock and key since mid-November.
Gigović, as "Vijesti" was unofficially told, insists on a handover and to determine the current situation in the company.
This was confirmed by the Board of Directors, which made a statement yesterday, saying that they do not want to legalize the robbery of the company, and that they insist on a detailed audit of the company's operations and the exact amount of debt being determined.
The new management is facing obstruction within the company itself, and is not allowed access to documentation.
Namely, suppliers are already demanding that their debts be paid, but the new management will insist that the contracts that were concluded be disclosed, because without determining the actual situation, they do not want to sign any payments.
Several workers from the Public Utilities Company called the Vijesti editorial office yesterday, stating that the garbage trucks had no fuel.
Vijesti sent a question to the PR service of the Public Utility Company asking whether the claims that there was no fuel for trucks were true, but there was no response.
The Municipality of Budva has not yet responded to what is planned to solve the problem in this company.
As Vijesti unofficially learned, Komunalno Budva has been unable to issue a large number of invoices sent over the internet for several days because all their electronic mail has been suspended.
Namely, due to non-payment of accumulated debts, neither the emails nor the website of this utility company are anymore functioning.
As a result, citizens cannot find information on the website about planned works, problems and interruptions in work, etc.
It is also a problem for workers who are hired under a temporary contract, because many of them have contracts expiring, and the question is who will extend their employment.
