A tender has been announced for the construction of a boulevard on Velje Brdo, which should be completed in a year and a half, while a tender for the main project and construction of the first residential block will be announced next week, with work on it set to begin in December, the Ministry of Public Works and the Ministry of Spatial Planning announced yesterday.
If the construction of the building, which would begin in December, lasts ten months or less, moving in could take place before the completion of detailed geological research and studies on whether the construction of any facilities on Velje Brdo is even possible.
A preliminary hydrogeological study on the possible impact of the construction of the Velje Brdo settlement on the Mareza spring, which was completed in April, requires that the main design of the settlement not be done nor any works be carried out until detailed geological surveys are completed.
After the Preliminary Hydrological Study was published, the Ministry of Public Works issued a tender for the preparation of detailed surveys with a deadline of 14 months and 20 days. If the contract were signed immediately, this would mean that the result and the answer to the question of whether it is possible to build a residential complex on Velje Brdo would be known in September 2027.
The Ministry of Public Works announced a tender yesterday for the construction of a boulevard on Velje Brdo, the main road for the future settlement with an estimated 44 residents.
The boulevard would be 5,3 kilometers long and would cost 33 million euros. In addition to the road, the tender envisages the construction of water, sewage and atmospheric sewage for the future settlement, which would be in the body of the boulevard, although it is still not known how and from where the settlement will be supplied with water, where and how the wastewater from the sewage will go... Wastewater cannot be discharged into Zeta because that part is in the Nature Park, while Podgorica's "Waterworks and Sewerage" previously announced that the only way to directly connect Velje Brdo is to connect it to the new treatment plant that is currently being built near Botun.
The tender for the boulevard also includes the landscaping of the boulevard surroundings, as well as the planting of precisely specified types of grass, ornamental plants and trees, and the number of seedlings.
Bids are due by July 20th of this year. The tender terms stipulate that the boulevard be built in 540 days, which is 18 months, from the date the contractor is hired.
Although there are still no expert studies on whether it is possible to build such a settlement on Velje Brdo, the Minister of Spatial Planning Slaven Radunović yesterday he announced in the Assembly that a tender for the main design of the future settlement and the construction of the first residential buildings will be announced next week.
He explained that the tender will last 30 days, and that the selected contractor will have 90 days to develop the main project and apply to the ministry for a building permit.
"Work on the buildings will begin in December and then a competition will be announced for users to determine who will receive the apartments," Radunović said yesterday.
He is a messenger. Vuković Kuč said he would not deal with interpretations of the Prime Minister's statements Milojko Spajić regarding immigration, and that no one has heard from him as a minister that there will be immigration in 2026.
"I don't think I can interpret what the prime minister meant. I was aware of the entire process we had to go through to legally establish this project," Radunović pointed out, adding that the problem for DPS, as well as some media outlets that criticize the project, is that it will be implemented.
In April this year, his Ministry published the selected urban and architectural conceptual design for Block A1, as part of the first phase of the implementation of the “Velje brdo” settlement. According to this conceptual design, this block would have 557 apartments, 296 with a net area of 60 square meters and 261 with a net area of 100 square meters, meaning that the total net area of the residential part would be 43.860 square meters. The construction of the buildings themselves would cost 118,03 million euros or 2.691 euros per square meter of net area, excluding infrastructure and utilities costs. The Government had previously announced that it would sell a square meter to citizens at a price of one thousand euros.
"Work on the buildings will begin in December and then a competition will be announced for users to determine who will receive the apartments," Radunović said yesterday.
