The utility company in Bijelo Polje used a legal option that public companies in Montenegro rarely use. According to the Law on Salaries of Employees in the Public Sector, they reduced salaries by 10 percent, because they were operating at a loss in 2022.

The trade union says that this is illegal because, according to another article of the same law, workers in the utility industry are exempt from this. They also problematize the fact that they have to pay for the mistakes of the previous management, who allowed unpaid and outdated debts to exceed a million euros.
