Almost 15 million euros will be invested in infrastructure projects in the municipality of Pljevlja through works that are already underway or will begin in the coming months, the mayor of the municipality told "Vijesti". Dario Vranes, emphasizing that the city is entering one of the most intense investment cycles in recent years.
"We have a major investment momentum ahead of us and the determination of the local government to make Pljevlja a more modern, functional and beautiful place to live. 4,5 million euros will be invested in rural roads this year. A tender has been announced, and the asphalting of 65 kilometers of roads is planned. The company 'Lokalni' putevi is already making preparations for asphalting 10 kilometers of the road towards Bobovo," said Vraneš.
The asphalting plan for 2026 covers 24 local communities, and the bulk of the work will be carried out in the areas of Bobovo, Kosanica, Zabrđe, Bukovica, Krupice, Maoče and other villages.
When it comes to the city area, a contract has been signed with the company "Bemaks", so the asphalting of city streets, worth more than 700.000 euros, will begin in June.
"The works will be carried out in coordination with the district heating project, in order to avoid subsequent digging of streets and ensure efficient management of resources. As part of these works, the main roads in the settlements of Gradac and Šula will also be asphalted," said Vraneš.
4,5 million euros will be invested in rural roads.
The reconstruction of Njegoševa Street, worth 785.000 euros, is also underway, while intensive work is being carried out on the reconstruction of Sava Kovačevića Street and the construction of the road towards Dajevića Han and Jugoštica.
"From the former military pump to Dajević Han, sidewalks, city lighting, a promenade, new water supply, sewage, atmospheric and optical installations are planned. In the Guke settlement, in front of the Electric Power Company, a modern roundabout with complete supporting infrastructure and signage will be built," Vraneš said.

"Work worth around 390.000 euros will begin in mid-July. Traffic safety and public safety have also been improved by installing public lighting in Serdara Janka Vukotića Street, for which around 40.000 euros have been allocated. The Municipality has also installed new lighting in front of the branch and main elementary schools in Srdanov Grob, Boljanići, Mataruge, Vrulja and Kosanica," said Vraneš.
He reminded that the asphalting of the plateau in front of the Holy Trinity Monastery was completed a few days ago.
During June, work will begin on installing thermal facades on several residential buildings.
"This project will include the Department Store building, the building near Patriarch Varnava Square, as well as the building above Žitoprodukt near Breznica," said the Mayor.
Significant funds will also be directed towards improving water infrastructure.
DOO Vodovod is entering the final phase of the reconstruction of the water supply and sewage network in Njegoševa Street, worth 121.000 euros. The construction group of the Coal Mine continues work on the water supply system "Troje česme", worth 280.000 euros, with a completion date in September. The water supply system project in Kosanica (Pušanjski Do, Kutuša, Bitine) is also ready, which will solve the issue of water supply for 117 households. The Municipality has already nominated this project, worth around 500.000 euros, to the Ministry of Agriculture," explained Vraneš.
Special attention is paid to the construction of sports and recreational facilities.
"The sports fields in Potrlika, an investment of 178.000 euros, and the children's playground near the Mine Building have already been completed. Currently, work is underway on the sports fields and playground in Guke, worth around 180.000 euros, as well as the landscaping of the area near the "Boško Buha" Elementary School. It is planned that in the next two months, Pljevlja will receive nine more modern children's playgrounds, for which 196.638 euros have been allocated," Vraneš emphasized.
He singled out the reconstruction of the Bajić house as one of the more important projects.
"The project is in the revision phase. The tender for this cultural and historical facility is expected to be announced in early June, for which the Municipality has allocated 270.000 euros," concluded Vranes.
An Ethnographic Museum will be established in the Bajić House.
According to data announced by the Mayor, the value of projects for which financial amounts have been announced reaches around 14,94 million euros, not counting works on thermal facades, the reconstruction of Sava Kovačevića Street, the paving of the plateau of the Holy Trinity Monastery and other projects for which the investment value has not been specified.
