The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management has published an advertisement for the construction of an agricultural house in Pljevlja, which will be built in the settlement of Potrlica, not far from the bypass road to Prijepolje. The earlier estimate was that the construction would cost around 880.000 euros.
Those interested can submit their offers until June 4 or 5. The project will be implemented with the support of funds from the MIDAS 2 project. The House of Agriculture will be built on state land near the "Laco Elektro" store.

The need for space is defined at around 650 square meters of gross area, while the budget, which includes the creation of the conceptual and main project and supervision work on construction works, revision of the main project, construction works, landscaping, which includes the creation of parking lots, traffic connections and access roads and equipping the regional office of the Directorate for Payments with furniture and IT equipment, estimated at 888.100 euros", it is stated in the Information on the construction of the House of Agriculture of the Ministry of Agriculture.
