ZOCG.
"The first amendment stipulates that the Government does not give prior consent for the alienation of property rights on immovable property belonging to the municipality, the area of which is up to 300 square meters, as well as when it comes to the disposal of property by direct negotiation. The purpose of this proposed solution is to speed up the disposal procedure small plots in order to bring them to their intended use in accordance with the planning documentation and disposition procedures in cases of land transfer for the needs of state authorities, expropriation, completion of the plot and legalization, in which the acquirer of ownership rights is known in advance," the announcement states.
"The second amendment provides that immovable property can be leased by direct agreement in the case when it is related to the immovable property or the activities of the lessee and in the case when the contract is extended with a lessee who has regularly fulfilled obligations based on the contract whose term has expired. According to the current decision, the lessor can lease the object through a direct contract only when no one responded to the previous three attempts at public advertising, which does not provide legal security to business entities and entrepreneurs who perform their activities in the leased real estate," it is added.
"In addition, there are situations where the lease can only be concluded with one person whose property or activity is directly related to the leased immovable property, i.e. in the case where the tenant has organized and performs the activity in the leased space and duly settled his obligations during the previous lease of the lease agreement. These decisions are harmonized with the Law on Obligations", states Manojlović in the explanation of the second amendment.
The third amendment proposes that the provisions of the Law relating to the conversion of the right of use into a right of ownership should be formulated in such a way as to achieve harmonization of the Law on State Property with the law governing spatial planning, and to avoid the need for general reference to planning documentation with a new alignment in the event of a re-change of the name of the planning documentation, concludes the Association of Municipalities.
