Electric Power Industry of Serbia (EPS)

The public company that lost six of the eight units at the TENT power plant in December 2021, leaving more than 136,000 people without electricity; the Fiscal Council estimated that the losses of EPS and Srbijagas that winter came to about a billion euros and that they „could and should have been avoided with better management“. Prosecutors suspect former director Milorad Grčić of causing EPS losses of more than a million euros through five procurements of equipment that nobody needed. As a contracting authority, EPS also signed contracts with NITES, where the brother of minister Kisić Tepavčević works.
