For the executive director of Montenegro Airlines (MA), there are several candidates, and the most serious is the former executive director of the company Živko Banjević.

He left his position as MA executive director in September 2015, claiming that he had submitted a request for mutual termination of employment. In 2014, when he was elected to that position, and nine months before the election he was acting, the company's loss amounted to 9,5 million, a year later 10,4 million.

The Assembly of Shareholders of Montenegro Airlines dissolved the existing Board of Directors yesterday and elected a new one.

Nikola Vukićević, Head of the Budget Directorate in the Ministry of Finance, Milica Abramović, Head of the Aviation Helicopter Unit of the MUP, Dragan Popović, Captain of the Government Aviation Service, Dženan Demić, Mechanical Engineer and Miroslav Bjelica, Security Expert, were elected as members of the new Board. .

According to "Vijesti" information from the Government, Vukićević is most likely the new chairman of the Board. The airline announced that the new Board will elect a president and vice president from among its members.

At that time, it is expected that the executive director of Montenegro Airlines will be elected, who will replace Zoran Kostić.

One of the candidates, Živko Banjević, graduated from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Belgrade, majoring in aeronautics.

He worked at Montenegro Airlines from 2002 to 2015. From 2007 to 2010, he was a CAMO (Continued Airworthiness Manager), responsible for meeting established standards for flight and equipment safety, as well as technical support. From 2010-2014 he was the maintenance director, and from 2014-2015 he was CEO and Director of Operations and Maintenance.

Captain Dragan Popović, who was a pilot before leaving for the Government Aviation Service, is also returning to the national airline. His name became known to the public after January 2015, when he piloted the Fokker 100 that skidded off the runway. There were no injuries in the incident, but the state paid large compensations according to the lawsuits of some of the passengers.
