After the Tax Administration, the Municipality of Budva, or rather its Local Public Revenue Administration, joined the blockade of the former military base on Cape Skočiđevojka near Režević, because the Cypriot company "KDP promotion and investments limited" failed to settle around 180 thousand euros in debt for real estate taxes.

"Lien - mortgage in the total amount of 179.843 euros in favor of the Municipality of Budva, based on the decision on securing a tax claim from the Local Public Revenue Administration," states the real estate list that "Vijesti" had access to.

The Municipality thus joined the Tax Administration, which at the beginning of August last year also registered a mortgage on the land complex for a tax debt of 701 thousand euros.

Both mortgages are registered on more than 62 thousand square meters of land on the coast.

The Municipality of Budva has previously thwarted the Cypriot company's project and stopped the construction of a luxury tourist resort, because the Administration for the Protection of Cultural Heritage, acting upon the request of the Chief City Architect's Service, issued a decision at the beginning of August last year to establish preliminary protection for the site of the former military complex "Skočiđevojka" for a period of one year.

"Based on the documentation of the Administration for the Protection of Cultural Heritage and a field inspection of the location, it was determined that the property meets the criteria of authenticity and integrity, the degree of preservation, and also has historical, architectural, landscape, ambient, technical, documentary and other social significance and characteristics," the decision of the Administration for the Protection of Cultural Heritage states.

It is stated that during the previous year of protection, it is necessary to conduct field and archival research, collect relevant data regarding the Coastal Artillery Battery and the “Skočiđevojka” Barracks.

After that, "KDP promotion and investments limited" submitted a complaint to the Ministry of Culture and Media, asking that government department to cancel the disputed decision of the Administration for the Protection of Cultural Properties. As "Vijesti" was told, they have not yet received an answer.

"The decision is unlawful, issued in violation of the rules of procedure, based on incorrectly and incompletely established facts and with the wrong application of law. Namely, the decision, pursuant to the provisions of Article 2 of the Law on Administrative Procedure, must contain in its reasoning the regulations on the basis of which it was issued, or regulations indicating that it could have been issued without a statement on the results of the investigation procedure, or without the participation of the complainant as a party in the proceedings. Bearing in mind that in the reasoning of the contested decision, the first-instance body did not refer to the regulation that stipulates that in this specific case a decision can be issued without a statement by the party on the results of the investigation procedure, or without the participation of the party in the proceedings, we conclude that the contested decision was issued in violation of the rules of procedure, which makes it unlawful," states the complaint, which was reviewed by "Vijesti", and which was filed by the "Prelević" law firm from Podgorica.

"KDP Promotion and Investments Limited" received approval from the Chief State Architect for a revised and amended conceptual design for a future five-star tourist complex on Cape Skočiđevojka in early July last year. Locals are contesting the project.

The amended and supplemented solution, previously submitted to "Vijesti" by a foreign company, stipulates that on urban plot no. 1 with a total area of ​​49.915,00 square meters, the construction of a luxury tourist complex, a 5-star hotel, consisting of a hotel building and six annexes - villas, operating under a mixed business model, in accordance with the Law on Tourism and Hospitality.

As it is pointed out, special attention during the design of the complex on UP1 is devoted to the relationship with the neighboring plots, and the possible impact of the newly designed buildings on the existing and future buildings in its surroundings.
