Niksic, (Montena-business)- Collection of the bills for electricity was seriously delayed and declined during the first half of December comparing to November, when the collection rate was satisfactory, it was reported after today#s meeting of the director of Elektroprivreda Montenegro (EPMN) Slobodan Dakovic and the directors of all Elektrodistribucija#s branches in Montenegro. The announcement created after the meeting says that the EPMN in cooperation with the Montenegrin Government, the Ministry of Energy and the Coordination office for watching the electro-energy situation in Montenegro, are doing their best in order to keep the electro-energy system in Montenegro without restriction measures. In the next 17 days the EPMN will continue their intense action of cutting off the net all debtors because the appeals for rational use of electricity didn#t have any results. "Collection of the energy bills is the only efficient way to get the money necessary for the import of missing electricity quantities, which is about 3,5 million kilowatt hours per day" says the announcement. rm/bd
