In the years when it did business with losses, the Kolubara coal mine set aside great funds for sponsorships and donations. An organization named Srpski Sabor Dveri also received donations, TV B92 investigative program Insajder (Insider) has revealed. Mine spent money on anti-EU campaign From 2004 until 2009, the state company RB Kolubara spent more than planned on sponsorships and donations, as well as on renting machines. The donations were given mostly for construction works, but sometimes the reason was simply - for the needs of the Church. Thus, Kolubara paid for the sound system of the big church of Spas. TV B92 will tonight at 20:00 CET broadcast the third part of a series entitled "The Swindle of the Century". One example of the use of funds is that in 2004, out of a total of 165 recipients of donations, made in money and coal, there are 72 churches and monasteries, and religious associations. Some donations are hard to understand, including that made to a Kolubara worker who visited the "tomb of Christ" in Bethlehem - our reporters said, or to a municipal unit of Barosevac, that purchased "automated machines to shoot clay pigeons". It is also unclear why a state company would pay more than RSD 2.3mn to the Monastery of Sopocani to pay electricity bills, while millions were also given to the publishing company Princip Bonart Press. Kolubara had the highest losses in 2008, when it also set aside money for the purchase of Melos Estrada tickets, while a woman named as Marija Marjanovic, whose status in the company was unknowns, received money for a movie directed by her daughter. Several million were also given to Srpski Sabor Dveri, while this right-wing organization's website said the money was spent for its campaign "EUtanasia: Kosovo above the EU".
