„I fulfilled my task, to return EPS to good condition after many problems together with my team,“ Miroslav Tomasevic, acting director of Elektroprivreda Srbije told the members of the Supervisory Board, whom he also informed about the beginning of the overhaul season.

As stated in the information published on the EPS website, Tomasevic said at the session of the Supervisory Board that the goal was achieved.

In March alone, the earnings from electricity export amounted to 32.5 million euros, and since the beginning of the year they have reached 49 million euros,“ Tomasevic said.
