After the implementation of the new Act on the organization and systematization of workplaces, a large number of employees of the National Security Agency are preparing lawsuits for non-respect of their legal rights, which will result in another expense that will have to be paid by Montenegrin citizens, such as the one prepared for them by the former minister Vesna Bratić, reports M portal.
As Profesionalac previously wrote, Dritan Abazović came up with a strategy to take revenge on the Agency officials who are "guilty" because he is a criminal, that is, because they discovered the state cigarette smuggling affair in which one of his closest associates, Rada Milošević, was arrested. with great prospects that he will soon be joined by other colleagues from the top of the URA, including Abazović himself. His second goal is to improve operatives loyal to him, in order to ensure full control over the Agency in the coming period and thus reduce the danger of discovering new criminal acts that he committed during his mandate in the most responsible positions in the Government of Montenegro.
His intimate, the informal director of ANB Artan Kurti, who has full control over the official director Boris Milić, is responsible for the implementation of Abazović's plan, that is, the implementation of the act that was adopted covertly, without publication, by the Government.
Thus, a greater number of Agency employees in the headquarters and in the field were assigned to lower positions, not taking into account the positions and jobs they were engaged in until now, and, contrary to legal provisions, their salaries were also reduced. At the same time, individuals, whose qualities are known to all colleagues, were promoted with significantly higher salaries than they objectively deserve.
Although the Agency's employees have a common opinion that it is not correct to sue the Agency, this time they are united in their intention to seek the protection of their rights before the competent institutions. Thus, these days it is expected that a large number of court proceedings will be initiated, the effect of which will most certainly be that the Agency, that is, the citizens of Montenegro, will have to compensate the injured officials, which, given their number, together with court and other costs amount to hundreds of thousands of euros.
Of course, for Dritan Abazović and the management of the Agency, this circumstance has no significance, given that they reckon that they will not bear personal responsibility, but the costs will be paid by the Agency, that is, ultimately by the citizens. Because of this attitude towards citizens' money, they ignored the experience of the Ministry of Defense, in which identical abuse was committed, which is already being paid for by the judgments of the competent state authorities, which confirmed the merits of the official's claims.
The intention of the current management of the Agency, which has the full support of Abazović, is to continue with the persecution of colleagues and legal violence by changing the pension conditions in the bill they are preparing, in such a way that they stipulate that the pension base is calculated based on the average of the last six months, instead of solutions that have always been in use - the average in the last calendar year. In addition to the increased salary, they planned to increase the monthly earnings of obedient employees by 30% during this calendar year through variable bonuses, as well as to pay them fictitious overtime hours in order to further increase their average. Thus, they would create the conditions for their henchmen who intend to retire to receive undeservedly high pensions, while individuals who have made much larger contributions to the pension fund over a long period of years would receive the lowest pensions. Also, they devised a solution according to which the amount of severance pay would be determined by the director in each individual case, without prescribed criteria, so that he would be left with the possibility to reward or punish employees according to his and Dritan's interests.
What Milić and his colleagues, carried away by Kurti's and Abazović's promises, do not consider is that the law they are writing needs to be adopted by someone, and whether such a large number of deputies in the Montenegrin parliament, regardless of all the differences in political attitudes and attitudes towards the Agency, will agree such abuses by the security service and turning it into a weapon for revenge against those who provided evidence for the arrest of Dritan and his associates is not very certain. In that case, the solutions devised by their patrons Kurti and Abazović could come back to them like a boomerang.
