According to the media in Podgorica, a woman who is accused of debt of 120 euros for electricity can spend 4 days in prison.
Ajovich Elena, a single mother of small children, will be sent to prison tomorrow, to serve a four-day sentence, such is the decision of the Magistrate's court in Podgorica.
Divorced five years ago, the woman first found shelter in the empty house of her relative. She herself signed a contract for payment for electricity. When she soon moved to another apartment, then without a warning, without investigation and trial, she was asked to pay 125 euros ostensibly a debt, under threat of imprisonment.
A woman does not know how the debt originated and does not have the means to repay her, since she lives on a 130 euro allowance. She fears that her children will be housed in a house for abandoned children and wondered whether the courts are taking out so quickly and equally tough decisions against those who owe hundreds or even millions of euros for electricity?
