The proposal for the bankruptcy of the company owned by the family of Prnjavor businessman Petar Dušanić was submitted in the middle of 2018, and although the petitioner Kosta Cvijić was joined by more creditors with the same request in 2019, the decision to open bankruptcy was made only a few days ago.

In the detailed explanation of the decision on the opening of bankruptcy, it was stated that the then temporary bankruptcy administrator Slobodan Pešević stated at the hearing held on February 2, 2021 that the company is not insolvent and that it has assets worth 11.4 million KM, while its debts amount to 2, 6 million marks.

However, in the report of the economic expert Daliborka Kerezović Damjanović from 2019, it was stated that the account of “Company Dušanić” had been blocked continuously since October 20, 2011, an overview of the forced collection solution was given, and it was concluded that the company was insolvent.

Just a few days later, the court dismissed Slobodan Pešević from his duties and appointed Živko Vojvodić as the new temporary bankruptcy administrator.

After several submissions by the proponents and interveners in this proceeding, in which they requested an urgent hearing to determine the conditions for opening bankruptcy proceedings, and bearing in mind that the proposal was submitted in the middle of 2018, the court scheduled a hearing for March 18 of last year, but the legal prerequisites for its maintenance were not met, which is why a new one was scheduled for the end of March this year.

At that hearing, the temporary administrator stated that all the accounts of the “Company Dušanić” had been blocked for 11 years and that continues today, as well as that 127 forced collection requests were registered with Nova banka, where the main account is kept.

“Based on the attorney of the proponent, the intervener and the proponent’s side, the temporary bankruptcy trustee, the economic court expert, the findings of the financial expert, the report and the supplement to the report of the temporary bankruptcy trustee, the court determined that the conditions for opening direct bankruptcy proceedings against the bankrupt debtor have been met.” it is stated in the explanation of the decision.
