Former workers of the Nikšić bauxite mine announced that on April 2, from ten o'clock, they will block all entrances and exits from the Seoc mine, in Nikšić County. As they pointed out, the reason for the blockade is unpaid wages, recourses, winter holidays, and the land located in Seoci, around the administration building, according to the cadastral records, belongs to the bankruptcy estate, but other companies use it without any compensation.
The former miners said that the blockade will continue until the land issue is resolved. They pointed out that the bankruptcy trustee of Boksit, Nenad Amidžić, the Ministry of Energy and Mining and the Turkish company Zeta Mine, which is "a subcontractor of the company Uniprom Metali, and which will inform the owner of Uniprom, Veselin Pejović, are aware of the blockade."
The lawsuit was filed in 2017 by the then bankruptcy administration of Bauxite because, as stated in the lawsuit, the property was mistakenly registered to a company from Tuzla, which in 1997 carried out construction work at the mentioned location and for that purpose built temporary facilities for the accommodation of workers, and during the aerial survey, for the purposes of the Nikšić cadastre, the location was registered in the ownership of that company.
"A geometrical report was made that showed a discrepancy with the numbers and graphics, so we submitted a request to the cadastre to reconcile it. We are waiting for the procedure to be completed and for us to know exactly what belongs to the bankruptcy estate. I also met the former workers of Bauxite with all these details", said Amidžić to "Vijesta".
It is about 17 square meters of land at the Seoc mine, which the bankrupt Boksites, as Amidžić said earlier, registered in the cadastre as their property after the final verdict in November last year.
As the bauxites have repeatedly pointed out, the debt for about 560 workers, on various grounds, is about 2,1 million euros. Bankruptcy in the Bauxite Mine was introduced in 2013, and since then former workers have been demanding debt collection.
