Minority shareholders of UTIP "Crna Gora" filed several lawsuits with the Commercial Court of Montenegro in which they demand the payment of the ownership stake, since the management of that company did not pay them within the legal term, "Vijesti" learned from several sources. The assembly of shareholders of UTIP "Crna Gora", majority-owned by the companies of businessman Žarko Burić, adopted on November 10 the decision to build a multi-purpose business-residential building-hotel and residential units, on the land and three cadastral plots, which are located behind the Siti Hotel, and next to Ljubović hill. The representatives of 6,99 percent of the shares voted against that decision, which, as dissenters, were not paid the owner's stake within 30 days. The representatives of the dissenting shareholders of UTIP "Montenegro" previously, at a meeting with the management of the company, did not accept the proposal that their ownership stakes in that company, worth a total of 811,2 thousand euros, be paid within a longer period than the foreseen 30 days, and with the obligation of UTIP to new mutual agreements on these transactions are concluded before a notary public. It was speculated that the subject of the conversation was payment in 24 monthly installments, which the small shareholders allegedly did not agree to.
