Independent MP Miodrag Laković, a former official of the Europe Now Movement (PES), jokingly told the authorities that after they dug up the ground on Velje Brdo in Podgorica, marking the beginning of the construction of a residential complex, they should plant olive trees there.

The government officially launched the construction of the Velje Brdo complex on March 25, and it was announced at the time that the construction of the first residential buildings would start by the end of the year. However, the Preliminary Hydrogeological Study on the Possible Impact of the Construction of the Velje Brdo Settlement on the Mareza Spring, published by the Ministry of Public Works in early May, states that before the development of the main designs for the facilities of the future settlement on Velje Brdo, it is necessary to conduct dedicated detailed hydrogeological research, as this area may have a direct connection to the Mareza Spring.

After the research, it is necessary to prepare a main project for determining and maintaining the zones and belts of sanitary protection of the Mareza spring, because it is expected that the area planned for the settlement is located in the second and third zones of sanitary protection of the water source, the study adds.

Hydrologist Slavko Hrvačević told Vijesti that the now requested detailed hydrogeological research of this scale would take at least 15 months, meaning that a final reliable result could be obtained in at least two years. This is just one of the many aspects of this project that have been controversial among some experts since the construction on Velje Brdo was announced.

"If you would listen to me, as an elder - since the one on Velje Brdo has already been dug up, olive trees should be planted and that's a good thing," Laković wrote on the Iks network.
