SARAJEVO, July 12 (Reuters) - Bosnia's 300 megawatt (MW) 
coal-fired Gacko power plant  RITE.BJ  has been reconnected to 
the grid after a problem with a conduit boiler system that 
occurred on Monday was resolved, the plant's sales and 
development director said on Wednesday. 
    "The plant was back online yesterday at 12 a.m (1000 GMT), 
it has been working and producing normally," Borivoje Vujicic 
told Reuters by telephone.  
    The Gacko and another 300 MW coal-fired plant at Ugljevik 
are run by Bosnia's second-largest power utility, ERS  ERST.BJ , 
which last week sought to buy power to cover a shortfall in the 
third quarter due to an overhaul at Ugljevik and lower water 
levels.  urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL8N1JX4P5
