The Secretary General of the Civic Movement URA, Mileta Radovanić, announced that the party's parliamentary group, due to "the constant rampant price hikes in apartments", will once again submit the Law on the Formation of the "Housing for All" State Fund to the Parliament.
"The latest data shows that apartment prices in Podgorica and on the coast continue to rise. In the capital, a square meter of an apartment under construction costs an average of over 2.000 euros, while on the coast it reaches 2.300 euros. After the passage of time that has been lost for citizens, it is high time for the state to actively intervene in this area. Since our idea of forming a state fund, Housing for All, did not have the support of the parliamentary majority, we will once again submit this initiative to the parliament. Through the formation of a fund, which would offer a real alternative to the market, it would be possible for citizens to exercise their right to a home at prices that are now higher and more than twice as favorable as market prices," says Radovanić.
He points out that the current average price per square meter in Montenegro, which exceeds 2.100 euros, makes the housing issue almost insoluble for most citizens.
"Housing for all would enable citizens, especially young people and vulnerable categories, to purchase their first apartment at the cost of construction, which means some 900 euros per square meter. It represents a very important initiative that facilitates the resolution of crucial life problems of citizens. This idea should be supra-partisan and supra-political, and we call on all actors in public life to submit their criticisms that they would implement, because it is high time that we systematically address this problem, which is gaining momentum," said Radovanić.
