The "Kolubara" mine - which, according to the latest and most advanced organization, is organized as a company for the production, processing and transport of coal, "Kolubara" mining pool doo - is the energy heart of Serbia. It is enough to say that 70 percent of coal is produced in Kolubara, from which 55 percent of the total amount of electricity is obtained, to know who you are dealing with. It should be added that "Kolubara" also has "intangible weight", its contribution to the October XNUMXth changes is indispensable, as well as its "basic" support for Kostunica's constitution, according to which Kosovo is forever the heart of Serbia.
For the reasons mentioned, "Kolubara" is protected as a white bear, which means that it has its own rules of business. Privileged position, with loyalty to any government is the foundation of any development, and record production is a cover for everything that is outside, or on the border of, the law. As connoisseurs of recent history say, wherever you scratch, there is a thief, and a big one, because "Kolubara" is a big bag, there are big numbers involved, millions and billions of mined tons of coal and money.
That is why every fight against crime, and other evils, in "Kolubara" is mostly politically motivated and in the service of slandering opponents. This can especially be said about the recent events, during the mandate of the previous director, ฤeran from the DS, the abuses of the previous group headed by Tomiฤ from the DSS were discovered - to recall the embezzlement with the rental of machines and the purchase of iron - while the most recent SNS director, with whom he again came hope for changes, reveals that before him there was everything, many omissions and abuses, those millions of payments for the expropriation of land and property, and what not. Each new set was amazed "with how easily the money from 'Kolubara' was spent without hesitation, and how the losses accumulated cumulatively". And each one had and has solutions, as well as this latest one, which definitely says that the fight against abuses achieved in the last few months inspires hope that changes are possible, not for the sake of anathemating "Kolubara", but for the sake of a better life for current and future generations... But, already said, don't miss donkey...
A FANTASY EXPERIENCE: In order to introduce the reader to this epoch-making story, it should be said that at the beginning of October, last year, Mr. Milorad Grcic from the Serbian Progressive Party was appointed acting director of "Kolubara", registered as an economist. The media reported that Mr. Grcic from Obrenovac, where he owned the "Fantazija" bakery, that together with his group of citizens, together with the democrats, exercised power in Obrenovac, that he joined the progressives collectively, that he graduated from some albus university. The media, only some understood, still raised the alarm that this was not the profile for such a responsible position, but Vuฤiฤ interrupted that he was the right candidate, and Mr. Grciฤ graduated from the Faculty of Service Management Fabus, at the Educons University in Sremska Kamenica, as well as that he has "serious experience" in jobs and tasks.
Just then, Mr. Grcic got down to work, took a picture of the situation, double recording of production and financial operations, congratulated the employees and a happy New Year, and wished a lot of happiness, health and understanding in the family, among colleagues and friends, and said, We must get rid of the unpleasant burden of the past that we were a breeding ground for corruption, and restore hope to all those who believe in change, when and who would, First Vice President and increasingly beloved Aleksandar Vuฤiฤ publicly, and at that television, said that in Vreoci, Mr. Radosav Savatijeviฤ Ken was paid 1,2 million euros in compensation in the name of expropriation, although the building is not intended for eviction.
What if, then, if the press conference, with the assistance of Mr. Grฤiฤ, was held by the relevant minister, Zoran Mihajloviฤ, who showed on those graphs that the previous leadership in "Kolubara", headed by Mr. ฤeran from the Democratic Party, paid 1500 salaries to non-existent people, that public procurement was carried out according to an urgent procedure and at six times higher prices, that 300 DS people were employed before the elections, and that the most prominent example of irresponsible spending is the case of expropriation in Vreoci, where, based on the decision of the EPS Board of Directors, Radosav Savatijeviฤ Kenet was paid 1,2 million euros for a facility that is not a priority in that procedure. At that conference, with those graphs, it was also said that Kene's house was not among the priorities, that it was not important for the mines, that Kene registered at the address in Vreoci two days before the decision on the payment... And the minister asked if the Vreoci Monte Carlo was being paid so many feesโฆ
Our media accepted the job and informed that there is more to it, there is a cafe valued at 5,5 million euros, a restaurant with a pre-fab for 1,8 million, an open-air storage facility for 500.000 euros, that 8000 were paid for the Polish toilet, for 60.000 euros for the garage... Mr. Grcic announced that all information will be published in the media immediately after being handed over to the authorities.
The prize question is how it ended up with Mr. Savatijeviฤ. Because Mr. Savatijeviฤ is a name that is responsible for this development of Kolubara, as a member of Palma's party, with whom a friend from Arkan's Party of Serbian Unity was a member of the Board of the EPS, just at the time when he received over a million euros. It's true that he had some inconveniences, he was arrested, in a package with DSS Dragan Tomiฤ, for embezzlement with the rental of machines, as well as in the process for abuses during road construction, which is known as Velja's director Jociฤ. However, Mr. Kene is defending himself from freedom, he was wearing a leg brace, and he was very sick, but the court rejected the request of the prosecution to temporarily confiscate his property, and accepted that the bail of 250.000 euros should be the house in Vreoci.
Therefore, Mr. Kene was really surprised and offended, but he quickly took the course, he declared to our informed newspaper that he supports the fight of Vuฤiฤ and the minister against the thieves in "Kolubara". He said explicitly and in black and white: "I support their struggle and I responsibly claim that I am the most honest in the whole expropriation story." I invite the minister to come and see the buildings and property, which are valued at 3,4 million euros, I have more than 2000 square meters of the most luxurious construction, all in marble and granite..." When asked, he replied that he had heard that there had been payments over the value of the property, that some people got more money than him, even though their property is not even close, but that is not his business, let the state investigate, and if he broke some law, let him arrest him...
STOP GATE: The announcement of the competent service from the press conference that Mr. Grcic held in "Kolubara" regarding "questions arising from the statement of the Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Serbia, Aleksandar Vuฤiฤ" appeared. What it says, it says: Director Grcic confirmed the knowledge of the Vice-President of the Government of Serbia about the expropriation procedure of the house, i.e. real estate, owned by Radosav Savatijeviฤ in Vreoci. The mentioned properties are located 900 meters from the second limit of the priority of the expansion of the front of the mining works...
When the matter came to that, Mr. Vremena journalist decided to go to the scene. So, an investigative journalist reached the phone of the PR person in "Kolubara", asked to see Mr. Grcic, and said on what topic. PR person, names Radoลก Lazareviฤ, Megatrend B.Sc. ekon, who, they say, did it first, would be kind enough to hear from them the next day. It was heard that the next day, Mr. PR said that Mr. Grcic would not be able to, because he has the Society's Assembly. The journalist took note of this, even though it was Monday, and the Assembly is held on Thursdays. The journalist was also contacted by a lady from the Belgrade Agency, through whom all contacts of "Kolubara" with the media began to go, promising the best possible cooperation.
What will he do, where will he go, the journalist will go to Vreoce, pass the center, reach the asphalted alley that went to the right and to the bottom of the hill. There, they told him, there is Kene's house. The journalist starts on the asphalt, for which the Evar compensation was also paid, on the side of the vegetation and the birch, a tall white gate made of a metal bar with a Stop sign on it. Behind the stop sign that big building, better to say in the plural, those big buildings. To the left, some trucks and machinery, to the right, some trucks and machinery, a brick fence, and behind that house, three pieces, in a pastel facade, the color should be orange, or rather pink, with roofs, terraces, curves and sims. Mr. journalist took a picture of it all, went back, and Mr. Kene told our media what happened anyway. After all, what would Mr. journalist "Vremena" ask Mr. Ken, or should we say Kenneth, who is only valued so much in expropriation.
On the way back, Mr. journalist stops by the Vreoci local community, it is not working. Whatever happens, one who knows everything is drawn, there is nothing to talk about, the MZ insisted, which was accepted, that the entire settlement, 1100 households, be included in the expropriation. Most of all they struggled with moving the cemetery, which is 300 years old, there were a lot of emotions, but money solved those emotions as well. The interlocutor also said that there is nothing to talk about, everyone is trying to catch as much as they can, and that everything was about the expropriation and the assessment of the value of the property, everything was, he said.
When he arrived at Mr. journalist's house, he received an e-mail from director Grcic, sent by an expert associate for public relations, Radoลก Lazareviฤ, B.Econ. What it says: "In RB 'Kolubara', the largest number of workers do their job honestly and ensure the safety and stability of our energy system." Miners are certainly not comfortable hearing how they work in a company where everyone is characterized as a thief. I tell all of them that investigative actions are carried out in the interest of all of them, in order to stop the uncontrolled outflow of money from the company. This is not about collective responsibility, but about irresponsible individuals who should bear personal responsibility for it... On the other hand, 101.873 tons of coal were produced at open-pit mines this Saturday alone, which is above the average daily production..."
