Yesterday, Energy Minister Zorana Mihajlović publicly invited Stevan Dukić, director of Transportgas, to attend the government meeting. This director, who was also mentioned when the Minister of Energy expelled Dušan Bajatović from the Srbijagas director’s meeting, currently runs his sister company Srbijagas.
Transportgas, the company managed by Dukić, was founded in 2015, following the restructuring of Srbijagas and the decision to form two new companies, Transportgas Srbija and Distribucijagas Srbija.
According to APR data, Transportgas posted a loss of 2.6 million dinars in 2018 and a profit of 730 million in 2019. Last year, the company had 73 employees and in 2018 16 employees. The media also stated that the company started working at full capacity last year.
Two functions
Dukić is a graduate mechanical engineer with more than 20 years of work experience in the gas industry, according to the website of the company he runs.
He served as natural gas transportation engineer, head of the natural gas transportation service, head of the Natural Gas Transportation Work Unit, head of the natural gas transportation sector, and executive director of technology at NIS-GAS and JP Srbijagas.
Last year, the media wrote that Dukić was also a member of the working group for strategic energy projects, which was established in February 2019 by decision of the Government of Serbia. As indicated, the group was established in accordance with the Decree determining the Program for the implementation of the Energy Development Strategy of the Republic of Serbia until 2025 with projections until 2030.
As we discovered, Dukić is not a political figure.
“He is appointed by Dusan Bajatovic, not by the government. He is an expert who is not involved in politics and who will be responsible for the transport of gas in the Balkan Stream,” said a source from “Blic Biznis” from Srbijagas.
Dukić was born in 1968.
Yesterday, Minister Mihajlović stated that she wanted to send several messages to the directors who were given the responsibility and the task of managing certain state-owned companies, especially in the gas sector, and first pointed out that they were not her private companies.
“The next message is that the Government of Serbia is not a café and that you can go to it whenever you want and with whoever you want, but when the Government of Serbia and the corresponding ministry invite you to certain meetings,” he added.
When talking about how he cannot establish contact with the director of Transportgas, he said that he does not respond to calls, and that the secretary has known for an hour and does not know where he is for an hour.
