    Ms. Trivić has diplomas in journalism and dramatic artist. Before that she was a waitress. So, he has a lot of experience in all areas, except in aviation

      Of course they are, but the thing is that she bought her diploma. So not the same.

      Really? Bought where, from whom? Which one? Obviously she is not the right person for the CEO, and that is political decision. But saying that she bought a diploma, is a very serious.

      There are here a lot of frustrated persons who comment negatively Ms. Trivić. She has performed excellent all her duties in the past that were on much higher level than a manager of the small airport. Maybe some commentators have bought their diplomas or wanted to do that, but failed

      edit: I wanted to say RUN, but I guess ruin can fit well in this context

      With this kind of appointment, it is clear that she is not there to run the airport, but just to back the decisions of someone else behind.
      So far, that someone else did a decent job and development of the charter traffic is good way forward.

      Btw, charters are the type of business Mostar and Maribor should look into, instead of dialing go develop commercial trafic.

      Zero experience in aviation had also a previous manager. He did his job pretty good even he spent more time somewhere else and not at the airport

  6. Incredible! In an age with so much competition and economic growth potential they hire an airport manager with no previous experience. And they are not ashamed to advertise it.

    BNX has so much potential. First of all terminal building has to be extenden and modernised. With minimal amount of capital it could be desecnt terminal. Second they should hire someone with experience so that airport continues growing and stop hiring on political base. I hope BNX will counitnue its growth. I travel a lot to and from BNX and I wish them all the best
