Demokrate Bar: The DPS administration silently observes the problems of the residents of Bjeliška Street

Residents of Bjeliška Street, from MZ Bar 3, have had a problem with atmospheric and fecal sewage for more than a decade, as well as a damaged road that passes by their plots, said Milan Nešković, president of the Bjeliša Local Board from the Bar Board of Democratic Montenegro, adding that the local DPS administration he has no intention of interfering.

"During the construction of the regional water supply system, the existing channel into which atmospheric and fecal water flowed was closed, so they were diverted into an open channel that stretches along private properties, which does not have the capacity to accept the amount of wastewater in the settlement where there is a large number of houses and several residential buildings, because it is far from infrastructure standards and therefore represents a danger in the ecological, security and every other sense," said Nešković.

He said that despite the numerous petitions and demands of the residents of the mentioned street to solve the mentioned problem once and for all, the local DPS administration silently observes without intending to interfere in its work.

"We saw that this is an extremely big problem during the previous week, when our municipality was hit by a severe storm. A large amount of torrential water, with stormwater from the catchment areas, widened the channel to the detriment of the already narrow and damaged asphalt. Passing cars in this street is absolutely impossible, and in the evening hours there is a particular danger because the canal is not even fenced in. Given that fecal water also flows through this canal, the possibility of an epidemiological disaster is evident, so this problem requires an urgent solution by the local self-government, and for that excessive budget funds are not needed," the announcement states.

As Nešković said, it is scandalous that all this is happening in a street that, due to the last zoning, for some reason, deserved to be in zone 1, that is, in the narrowest city core.

"We leave it to the citizens of Bar to judge whether this kind of infrastructure in the 21st century should adorn that part of the city and whether the residents of this street deserve to live in such conditions. Finally, we invite the gentlemen from the DPS to get up from their comfortable armchairs, visit Bjeliška street and convince themselves of the conditions in which the citizens of our municipality live, although we are sure that they know it very well, but some other things are more important to them than the well-being of the citizens of Bar," concluded Nešković.
