The government does not see any legal basis on which the tender for the lease of beaches in Ulcinj could be annulled, but if someone believes that there has been a violation of regulations and can prove it, it is ready to consider it, announced Prime Minister Milojko Spajić.
He met today with representatives of the Ulcinj municipality to discuss the situation regarding the implementation of the tender for the lease of beaches in this municipality, Spajić's office announced.
It is stated that Spajić emphasized that the tender is open and transparent, that the rules are clear, and that the interests of the citizens of Ulcinj and Montenegro come first.
"It is important, first of all, that the local community is satisfied, but also that everything is legal. Based on the information so far, there were no procedural shortcomings in this process. On the other hand, we understand the concerns of part of the local community and we are open to further dialogue that would include potential new tenants," said Spajić.

It was announced that representatives of the local government, led by the Mayor Genci Nimanbegu, repeated their demands to cancel the tender, annex the existing lease agreements, and enact a new law on the Coastal Property, since the current one has been in force since 2008.
Spajić suggested that, if the representatives of the Municipality consider it necessary, they should engage in a dialogue between all interested parties, in order to properly welcome the upcoming tourist season.
The statement states that the Minister of Urbanism, Spatial Planning and State Property, Slaven Radunović, pointed out that the start of the opening of bids confirmed that it was necessary to innovate the tender process because the state will have many times greater financial benefits than last year based on rental income alone, which he will inform the public about upon completion of the procedure.
