"What particularly pleases me in the development of Podgorica is the fact that not only the city center is changing intensively, but also the suburbs. I know what I'm talking about, I live in Zagorič, today Zagorič has the most beautiful kindergarten in Podgorica, Zlatica today has the most beautiful football complex in Podgorica, Masline will soon have the most beautiful market in Podgorica... We raise the quality of life in these neighborhoods and bring it closer to what quality is. of life in the center of Podgorica. That's not enough, but we can and want more, that's why young people like me, without previous political experience, have entered this story, eager to help, eager to bring new ideas, to put what they've learned in the country and abroad into the function of further development of the Capital City, of course, helped by the experience of those who so successfully led our Podgorica in the previous period", said the holder of the list "For the benefit of the citizens of Podgorica - Victory coalition Milo Đukanović" Dr. Ivan Vuković at the panel held in the local community "Jedinstvo".
Vuković said that the future local administration in Podgorica will work on three priorities: improving the traffic infrastructure, improving the business environment and further developing sports and culture.
"I have a personal motive to fight for it and be part of the team that will continue to lead the Capital City, so that my former students, who were great and who completed all their duties at the university, would stay here to build a more beautiful and better city together with us. Podgorica", Vuković said.
Speaking about political competition, Vuković pointed out that the opposition sees Podgorica as a means to threaten political stability in Montenegro and threaten the power of the DPS and its coalition partners at the state level.
"Unlike them who see Podgorica as a means, for us Podgorica is the goal. Unlike those who these days talk about Podgorica being the "mother of all battles", I tell them that for me Podgorica is the mother and full stop, I relate to Podgorica in that way, I am a child of this city and I want in this campaign, together with young people who are personally and professionally accomplished, who have no petty political ambitions and motives and who want good for their city, I will return part of that debt," concluded Vuković.
Candidate for councilor and minister of sustainable development and tourism, Pavle Radulović, said that it is a great honor for him to be on the list "For the good of the citizens of Podgorica - Winning coalition of Milo Đukanović".
"This is a team, and a team that cannot lose," said Radulović. He added that it sounds unbelievable to him that the political competition promises the wise Podgorica residents that they can legalize buildings for nothing, because the infrastructure provided for illegally built buildings costs money.
"But what is possible is to legalize objects in a socially just way. And that's how it will happen. With the new law, we have opened the possibility for the state to be directly involved in solving the problem of illegally built buildings on private land," said Radulović and added that, as a resident of Podgorica, he has a special sensibility for indigenous families, on whose land some illegal buildings were built. He said that the state will make an exchange with those families - they will be allocated land that is owned by the state, and the facilities built on their property will be legalized in accordance with the law and in a socially just manner.
"Therefore, citizens of Podgorica, I think there is no need to remind you what we should do this May, and let's see each other again in a more beautiful and happier Podgorica," concluded Radulović.
"During the past 18 years, when DPS has been in power with coalition partners in the capital, Podgorica has been reborn. If even one result can be measured with the achievements of the DPS state policy, then it is the transformation of Podgorica into a European metropolis. Should we remind you how the main city square looked a few years ago, and how it looks today? What did the big market look like in the past, and what does the Gintaš complex look like today? What did the road to the north look like in the past, and what does Vilija Branta boulevard and many others that lead to the ring road around Zeta, which is being intensively built these days, look like today? A few years ago, Podgorica had only a few boulevards, today there are dozens of them. Should we be reminded of the time when we did not have the Millennium Bridge, the Union Bridge and numerous other bridges, should we be reminded that we did not have a modern landfill, that quality lighting and sewage were provided for the city center? We changed all that with our work and our results", said Časlav Vešović, candidate for councilor and current deputy mayor of the Capital City, recalling the projects that are currently being implemented in the area of Maslin, Zagorič and Zlatica.
