The Broadcasting Center (RDC) announced today, regarding the emergency situation at the Štuoc location on Durmitor, that in parallel with the activities carried out by the Montenegrin Army and the RDC, field teams of the Montenegrin Electricity Distribution System (CEDIS) were continuously working on the rehabilitation of the transmission lines to that location.
The pole on the "Štuoc" transmission line was broken on January 4th due to extreme weather conditions, which led to the loss of mains power for the communication system transmitters at this location.
As the RDC said today, their teams and the Army of Montenegro delivered a ton of fuel by air for the needs of the RDC infrastructure at that location and transmission equipment that ensures the functioning of the public radio and television service, mobile networks and information systems of state bodies in the territory of Žabljak and Pljevlja.
"The Broadcasting Center would like to primarily highlight the exceptional role and dedication of the CEDIS field teams, especially the maintenance teams from Žabljak and Šavnik," the statement said.
These teams, it is added, worked for several days, in extremely difficult winter conditions, in inaccessible high-mountain terrain and in deep snowdrifts, to repair the fault on the 10 kilovolt "Štuoc" transmission line, exposed to low temperatures and serious safety risks.
"Their expertise, perseverance and willingness to complete the job in such circumstances represent an example of responsibility and professionalism that deserves deep respect and sincere gratitude," the RDC said.
They added that the RDC broadcasting network extends throughout the entire territory of Montenegro and, thanks to the long-standing, reliable cooperation with CEDIS field teams throughout the country, this system functions as a single and stable whole, even in emergency situations.
"In full synergy of all services, we would like to thank once again the crew of the military helicopter of the Army of Montenegro for the logistical support provided, as well as the RDC workers, who, through joint action, contributed to solving the power supply problem and ensuring the continuity of the system of public interest," the statement said.
