Among the images of several Montenegrin infrastructural or economic facilities in the majority ownership of the state - Bar Port, Airports of Montenegro, Pljevlja Coal Mine and Plantaže, which appeared in the video of Đukanović's coalition, are the motifs of at least two private investments that, at least officially, do not have any ownership or management connection with anyone from the top of DPS and SDP. It is about the hotel "Splendid" from Bečići and Tivat's Porto Montenegro, which, by the way, has been an inevitable part of every pre-election campaign for local Tivat or state elections in Montenegro in the past few years.
