As he said, the very fact that energy from that power plant was purchased at a significantly higher price than what was charged to citizens shows that a construction error was made.
"Is it natural that we buy more electricity than we sell? A construction error was made here and I responsibly claim that this is a corrupt business, that individuals simply created a system for someone to make enormous profits. When it started operating in 2019, the price of electricity on the stock exchange was 50 euros, and they gave it to them for 96 euros. Everything is clear there," Đukanović pointed out.
He says you don't have to be a scientist to see that the price is "inflated."
"If the Prosecutor's Office wants to deal with this, it will easily establish the facts. The privileged producers received 330 million euros, and Možura 72 million, and it will receive the same amount more, so close to 150 million euros, and the contractors have enormous profits," Djukanović pointed out.
He says that an expert report needs to be done, and that it cannot last more than seven days, and that's how we'll know how much everything costs.
When asked whether the price of electricity would change, he said that he would try to prevent that from happening.
"But no one can guarantee that. The electricity bill does not depend only on EP, and that is why we have clearly stated who the revenues go to, there are CEDIS, CEGAS...", he stated.
He said that on December 31st, there was an increase in some items in the CEGAS and CEDIS accounts, and that the increase amounted to 7 percent.
"When it comes to the item related to CEGAS of three percent, I hope that this item will change. In 2020, we were second to last in Europe when it comes to purchasing kilowatt hours, and today we are second in Europe behind Hungary. That speaks volumes," Đukanović points out.
When asked whether the energy crisis due to the war in the Middle East and Ukraine is affecting the business of companies, he says that crises affect everyone, but that the EP has adopted a policy that citizens pay for the cheapest possible electricity.
"We need to find a balance and in order to find the most acceptable price, we need to have as many new solar sources as possible," said Đukanović.
When it comes to the commissioning of the Gvozd wind farm, he said that it will be in April, and that the eight wind generators are a source of pride because they are the largest onshore wind generators in Europe.
"They look unreal and a photograph cannot describe that," Djukanovic pointed out.
He noted that at the summit in Abu Dhabi a few months ago, there were 20 heads of state from different countries and that they all wanted to invest with them, and that they chose us.
"The parliament has adopted the law and on April 20, a contract with the Emirates should be signed and a new company should be formed. It is planned to invest 3-4 billion. That is hundreds of millions of euros per year and that is an explosive development of electricity that we have not had before," concluded Đukanović.
