A walking path will be installed in Duklja, as well as benches, a fountain and information boards, it was announced after the visit of the capital city's delegation to that archaeological site near Podgorica. There is currently a group of archeology students there, thanks to the "Balkan Heritage" Foundation, with which the capital has signed a Memorandum of Cooperation for five years.
"We are working on this layer, which is very rich in archaeological material, we have a lot of beautiful ceramic objects, that is, bowls from which they ate and drank, also beautiful glass. We had beautiful finds like playing dice, which are very similar to today's poker dice ", said archaeologist Miloš Živanović.
It is clear to everyone that this special place needs to be used.
"We see the great potential of Podgorica and Duklja as a future center for education and as a tourist destination," said the founder of the Balkans Heritage Foundation, Ivan Vasiljev.
From the capital, they say that Duklja is paying more and more attention.
"A new board, a new fence was placed at the entrance, most of the site was mowed. In the facility where the security is located and where the archaeologists, the entire team, are located, we have equipped them with air conditioners and beds," said Sead Đokaj from JU Museums and Galleries.
"In addition to this being a cultural and historical asset, we want this to become a tourist attraction," said the mayor of Podgorica, Slavoljub Stijepović.
About 30 euros, as announced by the Capital City, will be spent on additional facilities in Duklja
"So that organized groups of tourists, the school population and all those who come to see this wealth will be able to rest on the benches that will be placed, and a fountain will be built on the footpath, which will be 1200 meters long, and there will be information boards ...", said Tatjana Popović-Dmitrović from TO Podgorica.
Tourists will be satisfied one day too. And archaeologists already are.
