BREAKING: Tensions erupted today in the Montenegro Parliament as Dritan Abazović, leader of the Civic Movement URA, clashed with Milutin Đukanović, Chairman of the Board of Directors at EPCG, over the controversial Pljevlja Power Plant. The heated debate centers around serious allegations regarding safety protocols at the plant.
The argument unfolded during a session of the Montenegro Assembly, where Đukanović accused Abazović of previously implying that the power plant could explode. This accusation marks a significant escalation in their ongoing dispute regarding energy policies and safety regulations.
Earlier today, Abazović filed a criminal complaint against the management of EPCG and Minister Admira Šahmanović. He alleges that the company granted itself permission for trial operations at the Pljevlja Power Plant without prior approval from the inspection authorities. This claim raises urgent questions about regulatory oversight and public safety.
The Pljevlja Power Plant, a critical energy provider for Montenegro, has faced scrutiny for its operational practices. Abazović’s allegations suggest a potential risk to both the environment and the health of local residents, amplifying concerns that have been voiced in previous discussions.
As this situation develops, it underscores the ongoing challenges within Montenegro’s energy sector, particularly regarding transparency and accountability. The clash in Parliament is likely to intensify scrutiny on EPCG and its operations.
Officials are expected to respond to the allegations in the coming days, with public sentiment growing increasingly critical of the current energy management practices. This urgent situation highlights the delicate balance between energy production and environmental safety, raising stakes for policymakers.
Stay tuned for further updates as the situation evolves. The outcome of this debate could have significant implications for energy policy and public safety in Montenegro.
