Whether the elections are in Cetinje or those in Kotor, the construction of the cable car has been the main pre-election trump card of the DPS in the capital city and the city under UNESCO protection for years. Due to the estimate that the project will cost around 12 million, the local administration previously abandoned the construction of an elevator to the San Giovanni fortress and decided on a cable car. They promise that the work will be completed long before the next local elections, while the opposition remains skeptical.
"The conceptual design of the real cable car has been completed, which has been adopted, and we think that the main project will be completed in two months. I am sure that the implementation will be completed in the next four years, even much sooner," said Željko Avramović from DPS
"The people of Kotor just listen to those promises from election to election. A million euros were invested there and nothing was done," said Siniša Kovačević from Demos.
The construction of the bypass is another promise that stretches from election to election. Thus, the traffic congestion was the first association of tourists on summer holidays in Kotor this year as well.
"Kotor is crying for a bypass and what could solve many problems, you know that it is difficult to get to Kotor, such is the traffic collapse and the road infrastructure", said Dragica Perović from the Democratic Front
"So the solution is through some footbridges and underpasses, maybe partly moving the parking lot from the city's waterfront," Kovačević said.
More and more frequent accounts of criminals in Kotor point to the need for the local self-government to deal with this problem in addition to the competent institutions. That is why the Social Democrats devoted a special part of their pre-election program to this very problem.
"It is about the measures in which the school boards in which the parents sit should carry out the recognition at an early stage and the use of drugs and violence among young people, the strengthening of social services in the municipality, which should have direct contact with all families in which there are social problems, where they could because of economic reasons for crime to appear", said Andrija Lompar from SD.
Prevention of violence is also possible with the development of sports. That is why SDP advocates the construction of sports facilities.
"Repair of the indoor swimming pool, construction of a field for young people, better involvement in amateur sports in culture," said Ivan Ilić from SDP.
Unlike their neighbors in Budva, Kotor residents have no problems with the municipal coffers. In the SNP, however, they believe that there could be even more money if all investors would pay their utility bills.
And the DF reiterates that they will advocate that Kotor be restored to city status, that is, that the city under UNESCO protection should be declared the cultural capital of Montenegro.
