Photo: A. AndjićThe leaders of public utility companies in Belgrade have been changing or rotating for years. Ivan Komarica from the Belgrade on the Move organization tells "Vreme" that the City has been violating the Law on Public Enterprises for two years by not announcing a competition for their positions
After Aleksandar Šapić won his second term as head of Belgrade, changes in some public companies will follow, and a few directors will remain in the same positions, Nova wrote.
The former director of "Belgrade road" Vuk Janković will move to a new position, and the former president of the municipality of Novi Beograd Bojan Bovan to the Secretariat for Traffic.
Andreja Mladenović, the head of the public company "Belgrade Metro and Train", Bojan Bajagić, head of "City Markets" and Slaven Andrić, director of the public company "Transport Service Billing" will retain their positions.
Non-transparency, shortened procedures and questionable qualifications
In connection with the management of public utility companies, Ivan Komarica from the Belgrade in Movement organization draws attention to the fact that the City of Belgrade has been violating the Law on Public Companies for two years by not announcing a competition for directors of public utility companies.
"The city assembly appoints acting directors without any transparency, often with dubious education and according to an abbreviated procedure, which prevents public insight into their biographies." A large number of acting directors are members and officials of political parties, which is an additional violation of the law. This represents a serious problem, because these people often have dubious diplomas, which further undermines the trust of citizens," Komarica told "Vreme".
He adds that the absence of a competition procedure not only violates legality, but also makes it difficult to supervise the work of directors.
"Citizens of Belgrade deserve professional and competent managers, elected through a transparent and legal procedure. We request the competent authorities to urgently announce competitions for directors of public utility companies and thereby ensure legality and transparency in the work of these important institutions," concludes Komarica.
Nenad Stefanović filed a disciplinary complaint against Branko Stamenković, claiming that his public appearances damaged the reputation and trust in the work of the public prosecutor's office. Among the disputed statements is the one that Stamenković gave to the weekly "Vreme", talking about the "para-prosecutor system" in Belgrade.
"I have not terminated the employment contract of any employee," said the principal of the "20. Oktobar" elementary school, Gordana Radojević, in her denial regarding the article about the parents demanding her resignation. He claims that the employees left at their own request or their fixed-term contracts expired.

The BIA rejected Radar's allegations of personnel changes and documentation, calling them part of a hybrid attack on the security system. The agency points out that by law it does not inform the public about internal personnel decisions.
The findings of the experts represent new evidence in the proceedings regarding the physical confrontation between Šapić and Mićić, which took place on September 28 at the Bežanijska Kosa.
At the moment when the institutions of the Republic are destroyed, when Vučić's octopus is still alive, when people are disgusted by the injustice and the stench left behind by the Essenes regime, we have, as Machiavelli said, only civic virtue as the fuel with which we can return to the beginning
The four independent members of REM are an example of perseverance and civic responsibility. Rodoljub Šabić even, upon leaving the premises of REM, after the sentencing of the Informer, experienced that the Essenes insulted him, hit him with their hands and feet. But that too will soon be over
Vučić pardoned the batterers and Dijana Hrkalović. The election winners should abolish the sultan's power that allows one man to run afoul of the entire judicial system
