The acting director of the Electric Power Company of Serbia (EPS) Milorad Grcic resigned today. In his letter to Prime Minister Ana Brnabić, he pointed out that Serbia will become "a handful of misery that anyone can eat", if they allow Serbia's power system to be run by people "like (the Minister of Energy) Zorana Mihajlovic", "Večernje novosti" reports.
"Now, when I am no longer the acting director of EPS, when I can say what is on my heart, without caring about the hierarchy, I warn you about the following. If Ms. Zorana Mihajlović remains at the head of the Ministry of Mining and Energy for more than three months, if she leads that ministry for a single day after the election, our power system is condemned to death, to complete failure," Grcic stated in the letter.
He pointed out that Mihajlovic, working for his "mentors from Western embassies and his business partners, is not only destroying one of the most important ministries, he is completely destroying our entire power potential and destroying that sector which is the heart of our country."
"Vreme" previously wrote after the accident at TENT that the Electric Power Company of Serbia announced, after analyzing the events that led to the stoppage of the units at the "Nikola Tesla" thermal power plant, that the acting director EPSMilorad Grcic decided to replace those responsible in the chain of coal and electricity production.
It stated that "due to all the unexplained circumstances that caused the system to stop, the EPS will request help from the MUP and the security services in the further investigation, so that there are no possible new omissions or intentional errors in work."
"But it's not a problem in the unfortunate Grcic." He would certainly take over the management of the nuclear power plant himself, only if someone would allow him to do so, even though he knows about nuclear energy as much as TENT and EPS, it means nothing," wrote Momir Turudić on the portal of the weekly "Vreme". The problem is with those who, with such intelligence and expertise, put him where they put him, to carry out orders, bring his own people and theirs, and it will mean nothing if instead of the current Grcic, they bring the same one in his place, and SNS has such cadres in abundance.
"Public companies are party prey of every government, but is it possible that someone does not understand that something like TENT and the country's energy system must be decided by people who are experts and know something about it," asked Turudić. And at least there are them in energy and TENT, if they weren't there, that system would neither survive nor function for decades, often in impossible circumstances.
He has that derisive expression "fah idiot", which describes people who are experts in only one field, who have no wider interests and which is often, and unjustifiably, attached to engineers of various professions. Even so, it is not a problem for someone who professionally does a job that he knows, even if it was just one job. It's not a problem even with idiots without skills, as long as they only care about themselves. But that's why it's a disaster when ignorant idiots find themselves in places where important decisions are made for the country and its residents.
