Empty Two crates, moving by the New Year?
The building of the old Government, colloquially called Two Boxes, was vacated by the decision of the Government around May 20, and the project documentation for the installation of low and high current installations is in progress.

The plan is that after this work, the building will be adapted for safety purposes for the needs of SDT and SPO, and according to unofficial information from "Vijesti", this could be done by the New Year.
The old government building will be adapted and equipped with office furniture and IT equipment with the support of the European Union - Eurol and the US Embassy in Montenegro, which will finance that part.
