The civic movement URA has filed a third supplement to the criminal complaint with the Special State Prosecutor's Office (SDT) regarding the trial operation of part of the Pljevlja Thermal Power Plant, claiming that this was done contrary to legal procedures and without the mandatory consent of the competent authorities.

The amendment was filed against several managers of the Electric Power Company and the Minister of Energy and Mining, Admir Šahmanović, on suspicion that they enabled the trial operation despite warnings from expert supervision.

It is alleged that the consent was given contrary to the report of the "Projectman" expert supervision, which warned that putting the plant into operation without adequate supervision poses a serious risk to the safety and functionality of the system.

The amendment also refers to Prime Minister Milojko Spajić's response to a parliamentary question from December last year, in which he stated that the decision to grant or refuse consent for trial work has not yet been made, because the administrative procedure is ongoing.

From this, the URA concludes that the trial work was carried out without formal consent from the competent authorities.

The accused are charged with abuse of official position and environmental pollution.

In January, the Special Prosecutor's Office informed Television Vijesti that they had opened a case on this matter.
