In Montenegro, the same old story repeats itself – Vladimir Čađenović has been re-elected as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of CEDIS, the country’s electricity distribution system. Yes, you read that right. The very same man who has been the executive director since April last year is now also the head of the board controlling the nation’s electricity. And that’s not all – the new board includes Dr. Vladan Radulović, Ćamil Kujević, Irena Vućić Popović, Jovan Sinanović, Ilija Miljanić, and Dušan Bugarin. It sounds like nothing changes in the energy sector, and maybe it shouldn’t if you’re in the right place. Čađenović first became chairman on March 29 last year, meaning his position is firmly entrenched. But what does this mean for everyday Montenegrins? Is this just another example of power and control staying in the hands of the same people, while issues with supply and infrastructure get swept under the rug? CEDIS is crucial for electricity supply, and in an era when energy is worth its weight in gold, who leads this system is no small matter. Will the new board bring change or continue the old ways? Meanwhile, citizens face challenges like high electricity bills and occasional outages. If it feels like nothing changes, you might be right. But don’t just stay silent – share your thoughts, because if not you, then who? Who knows, maybe your comment will spark a wave of change in this vital energy sector.
