The Administration of Local Public Revenues of the Municipality of Budva blocked a large land complex in Miločer Park, on which the new hotel "Kraljičina Plaža" is being built, as well as villas in this century-old park, after the government company "Hotel Tourism Company (HTP)" Miločer, despite warnings ” did not settle the debt in the name of real estate tax.

As written in the real estate list, which "Vijesti" had access to, a mortgage on an attractive piece of the most valuable part of the Budva riviera was registered at the end of July in the amount of 226 thousand euros.

A mortgage in the total amount of EUR 226.501,58 in favor of the Municipality of Budva - a decision on securing the tax claim of the Administration of Local Public Revenues, the property of HTP "Miločer", was registered as a burden on all the plots that this company, which is one hundred percent owned by the Government of Montenegro, owns in Miločer.

We would like to remind you that the Administration of Local Public Revenues had previously, ex officio, in June, initiated the procedure for forced collection of tax debt from the failed government company, leaving a deadline of ten days for them to pay the debt, and if they do not do so, the Municipality of Budva will initiate the procedure for forced collection.

Vijesti has repeatedly written that the situation in this government company is more than alarming. The tenant of the old hotel "Kraljičina plaža" on the site of which a new hotel with outbuildings and apartments for sale is springing up, the company "Adritic properties", owned by Greek businessman Petros Statis, has not paid the rent for 156 months, in five quarterly installments, and the debt has reached half a million euros. .

Director of HTP "Miločer" Igor Đurašević confirmed to "Vijesti" yesterday that the situation in that company is more than serious, because the company is under blockade, the employees have not received nine salaries, there are no telephones or internet in the offices, they are not paying their loan obligations to Universal Bank, and they are being blocked by the Compensation Fund . Debts are increasing day by day.

The old hotel "Kraljičina plaža" was demolished and the concrete structure of the future hotel was built in its place and on the lot next to it, but the work has stopped for the third year, since the arbitration proceedings before the Tribunal in London.

The company "Adriatic properties" has concluded a contract with HTP "Miločer" on the multi-decade lease of the former hotel "Kraljičina plaža" and land, in whose name it pays 87 thousand euros per quarter. It is the only income of "HTP" Miločer", which has two employees, a director and a business secretary, as well as a three-member board of directors.

Due to the overall situation and the padlock that has been on the city hotel Sveti Stefan for the fourth summer, the locals requested the termination of the contract, and their initiative was supported by the Deputy Prime Minister Nick Djelosaj. The government gave Statis' company a deadline to open the hotel complex in one month or they will terminate the contract.

And the Public Enterprise for the Management of the Sea Property has given a deadline of one month for the beaches to be open, because the four swimming pools that were leased to "Adritic Properties" have not been arranged all summer.

On the other hand, the tenant has repeatedly pointed out that he is ready to open a hotel complex, but the beach usage regime must be agreed beforehand, because their guests must have privacy.

Apart from the Municipality of Budva, the attractive land complex is under the blockade of the members of the Serbian royal family Karađorđevići, who are seeking restitution or compensation before the State Commission for Restitution.
