New Articles of Association of PE “Electric Power Industry of Serbia“ came into force on 4th March. In accordance with the Articles of Association, amendments to the founding acts of subsidiaries within the system of “Electric Power Industry of Serbia“ were prepared and they were submitted to the Supervisory Board of PE EPS for adoption, and then the consent for them was given by the Government of the Republic of Serbia.
The corporatization of EPS will officially begin with these changes, envisaged in the Initial basics for reorganization of EPS, which was adopted by the Serbian Government in November 2012. The goal is to balance the business processes, provide a uniform system of administration and management and to optimize costs in finance, legal affairs, information and communications technologies, human resources, public procurement and public relations by implementing corporatization in the system of “Electric Power Industry of Serbia”.
