In the past year and a half, Elektroprivreda BiH hired almost 150 new employees. Sixty new employees were hired only in the first six months of this year.
The surprising recruitment of employees in one of the most stable companies in the country is strange, given that profit of EP BiH has been constantly decreasing over the past several years.
Financial reports state that in 2013 Elektroprivreda BiH had a turnover of 981.025.487 BAM, expenditures amounted to 924.599.088 BAM, and net profit amounted to 37.044.337 BAM. Only two years later, in 2015, Elektroprivreda BiH generated somewhat lower turnover, in the amount of 954.539.111 BAM, but the net profit fell to only 3.635.753 BAM. Profit of Elektroprivreda BiH in 2014 was even lower, only 3.234.760 BAM. For months now, experts have been warning about how Elektroprivreda BiH must cut the costs and increase the profit if they want to survive on the market.
According to the sources, new employees were mostly recruited by one of the largest companies in the country based on recommendations by the leading parties in FBiH . the Party of Democratic Action (SDA) and the Alliance for Better Future (SBB). After the general elections in 2014, Elektroprivreda BiH is mostly managed by the staff belonging to these two parties.
“New workplaces in Elektroprivreda BiH are a reward for supporters of SDA and SBB,” stated the highly-positioned source in Elektroprivreda BiH.
Elektroprivreda BiH confirmed that they hired 148 employees in total during 2015 and the first six months of 2016. In 2015, the company hired 39 employees for an indefinite period and 49 employees for a definite period. In the first six months of 2016, the company hired 42 workers for an indefinite period and 18 workers for a definite period.
