Airport Tender Commission in Total Chaos!
Have you ever seen a commission completely mess up a public procurement process? Well, buckle up, because the tender commission responsible for airport concessions in Montenegro is doing just that – and with flair!
What’s going on?
Deputy Prime Minister Nik Đeljošaj, who also heads this commission, reveals that the commission hasn’t finished its work yet. Although scoring information surfaced today, it’s not official until all commission members sign off on the decision. So, until then, it’s just rumors and media soap opera.
A new meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, where they will finally decide on the ranking list and analyze financial offers. But wait, there’s more! IFC, the World Bank’s consulting firm, refused to answer Đeljošaj’s questions during the session. Yes, you read that right – they refused to answer! The Deputy PM even took responsibility for this, which only adds to the mess.
Why is this a problem?
Because while all this is happening, the media and one commission member are deliberately leaking information that compromises the entire process. Đeljošaj claims this is a criminal offense and that their work is marked as internal, but that doesn’t stop the scandal from spreading.
What’s next?
The commission will make decisions at the next meeting and inform the public in due time. But will that be enough to restore trust? We doubt it.
Bottom line?
This situation is a perfect example of how public procurement should NOT work. IFC’s refusal to answer, delays in signing decisions, and media games all cast a shadow over transparency and fairness.
