UPDATE: A heated confrontation erupted today in the Montenegro Parliament between Dritan Abazović, leader of the URA civic movement, and Milutin Đukanović, chairman of the board at EPCG (Elektroprivreda Crne Gore). The focus of their intense debate was the controversial Termoelektrana Pljevlja power plant.
The dispute escalated when Đukanović accused Abazović of previously suggesting that the power plant could potentially explode. This claim came amidst ongoing scrutiny of the project’s safety regulations. Earlier this year, Abazović filed a criminal complaint against EPCG management and Minister Admire Šahmanović, alleging that the company issued its own approval for trial operations of the power plant without proper inspection consent.
The urgency surrounding this issue is palpable, as the safety of the Termoelektrana Pljevlja impacts not only local communities but also national energy policies. The power plant has been a contentious topic for months, raising alarms about safety standards and regulatory compliance.
Local observers emphasize that this public spat highlights deep divisions within Montenegro’s political landscape, particularly concerning energy management and environmental safety. As the debate unfolds, constituents are left questioning the future of their energy resources and safety measures.
What happens next is crucial. The parliament session continues as both leaders exchange heated remarks, and the public is watching closely. With the potential for further legal actions and investigations into EPCG’s practices, this story is far from over.
Stay tuned for more updates as this situation develops and authorities respond to the growing public concern over energy safety and governance in Montenegro.
