The Prime Minister, Milojko Spajić, and the Minister of Energy, Saša Mujović, today made official the start of work on the construction of a 2,3-kilometer heating pipeline, which is being done as part of the Pljevlja heating project.
Spajić and Mujović, accompanied by the President of the Municipality of Pljevlja Daria Vraneš and the director of Elektroprivreda Ivan Bulatović, visited the works on the ecological reconstruction of the Thermoelectric Power Plant, which is the framework for the heating project of the northernmost Montenegrin city.
"I am very happy that today we can do concrete things in Pljevlja and the heating, which has been mentioned since my childhood, is starting to be done for the first time. We expect that the intensity of the works will start very quickly and that we will have a city that will finally get what it deserved heating and ecological reconstruction from the beginning. So we expect that the works will progress according to plan," Spajić said.
He said that the Government will continue to support development projects in Pljevlje and other Montenegrin municipalities.

"Today, I can proudly point out that Pljevlja represents the largest construction site in Montenegro. Today, with the start of the construction of the heating pipeline, we are turning into reality the wishes and aspirations of numerous generations behind us and laying the foundations for a solution to the environmental problem, which has plagued Pljevlja for so many years behind us." Mujovic said.
He said that in addition to this, there are other current projects "that support the thesis that Pljevlja represents the largest construction site".
"The displacement of the flow of the Ćehotina river will begin very soon, everything is ready for the construction of the small Otilovići hydroelectric power plant. The largest project in the field of energy efficiency initiated by this country is underway, a project that weighs 8,8 million euros. The construction of another one is expected very soon small hydroelectric power plant Durutovići, and the process of reconstruction of the city's water supply system is underway in order to reduce the incredibly large losses on the water supply network in Pljevlja. In eight months, this Government has done a lot, we have made great strides. We will not stop and we want to fulfill our promise Pljevlja will be a pleasant place to live," said Mujović.
Bulatović said that they started with the construction of the heat pipe from the Thermal Power Plant to the intersection near Vektra Jakić in a length of 2,3 kilometers.
"We have also created a project for the entire heating system in the length of 6,3 kilometers, so we expect that this project will come to life very quickly and that we will very soon reach the point where further realization and connection with the main heating plants of the city should start. way, we will also provide cleaner air for the citizens of Pljevlja," said Bulatović.
He said that the rest is under the jurisdiction of the Municipality of Pljevlja and the Directorate for Capital Projects.

Vraneš said that today is a historic day for Pljevlja, because finally, after 40 years, the Pljevlja heating project is starting.
"I believe that this Government and this local self-government will only succeed together in bringing this project to an end," said Vraneš.
Spajić also said that the conceptual design of the expressway from Crnča to Pljevlja and further through Goražde to Sarajevo will soon be completed.
"It is one of the key road directions. Currently, it takes two and a half hours to travel to Pljevlja from Podgorica, and soon it will be less than two hours, but first we need to solve the road to Vrulja Mijakovići. When the expressway is finished, it will take an hour and a half," he said. Spajic.
As previously announced by Elektroprivreda Crne Gore, the main goal of the project is environmental protection, which is reflected in the shutdown of the six largest boiler plants in the city center, among which is the boiler plant in Skerlićeva Street, from which apartments and business premises in the city center are heated.
