Đurašković: The previous session of the Assembly showed in the best way the incompetence of the local government

"It is obvious that the local government does not have the capacity to plan projects, and this is best seen in the fact that some projects that were in the development plan for 2018 and 2019 are now not there at all for 2020, and their implementation has not even started."

The member of the OO SDP Cetinje in the Assembly of the Capital, Nikola Đurašković said that the session of the Assembly of the Capital yesterday at which the Development Program of the Capital for the year 2020 was discussed "in the best way showed the incompetence and limitations of the local government when it comes to the realization of projects of importance for our city."

"If we just look at the degree of realization of the projects for 2018 and 2019, it is clear that the local government has failed to use the money that comes to it based on the Law on the Capital City. Gentlemen from the government, You have money that you cannot spend. It is not just an attitude of the SDP councilor club, this is an increasingly common attitude heard from high-level state addresses when commenting on the achievements of the Law on the Capital City and the Capital City Development Program for the previous year, and I'm afraid for the current year as well. When, mayor, you say that from the beginning of the implementation of a project to nine months should pass before the introduction of excavators, someone has misinformed you, whether to create an alibi for their own irresponsibility and bad results or for some other reason, is a topic that you should analyze and deal with," said Đurašković .

He added that certain projects have suddenly disappeared from the Program, projects such as the construction of wastewater treatment plants are no longer mentioned, and the largest number of projects are rewritten from year to year without their implementation or are implemented like the city stadium where 5 up to 7 workers.

"It is obvious that the local government does not have the capacity to plan projects, and this is best seen in the fact that some projects that were in the development plan for 2018 and 2019 are now not there at all for 2020, and their implementation has not even started. There is no data on how much the preparation of those projects, which are now abandoned and unrealized, cost the taxpayers nor who is responsible for the omissions in the Municipality, which owes 38 million euros. That is why such discussions are ideal to draw a line and publicly announce that the local government is up to was now incapable of solving the city's problems, even with very generous help from the state, and it is high time to stop that, so that Cetinje can finally move forward," Đurašković concluded.
