High prices for the legalization of illegally built buildings in Nikšić, the formation of cadastral municipalities and land surveying are some of the pressing problems of the citizens of Nikšić, said Nikola Batrićević, a candidate for alderman from the Black and White list in Nikšić.

In his announcement, he states that "the price of legalizing illegally built buildings in Nikšić per 1m² in the first zone is around 140 euros, in the second around 100, and in the fourth zone (Kličevo, Straševina and similar remote settlements) up to 45 euros" and those prices rates as astronomical.

According to him, considering that most builders brought electricity and water by themselves, charging such a compensation is insane and absolutely unacceptable.

"People who built dilapidated houses on state land and do not have the basic means of living are de facto in a situation where they have to pay a higher amount for the legalization of the building than it is worth," he points out.

He cites the formation of cadastral municipalities and land surveying as another pressing problem for the citizens of Nikšić.

"The Commission for Exhibitions, in cooperation with the Real Estate Administration of PJ Nikšić, which looks more like the cooperation of organized criminal groups than state authorities, robbed numerous citizens of Nikšić of immovable property. It has been six years since the cadastral municipality of Grahovo was formed, with gross omissions, while the cadastral municipality of Dragova The port does not exist. No building on that site has been registered anywhere, and there is no indication that there will be in the near future," explains Batrićević.

He claims that the criminal offense of illegal registration of real estate and buildings has been committed countless times by these authorities, especially in the localities of Vidrovan, Grahovo, Vrbica...

"The owners are impatiently waiting for the resolution of disputes with the commission, which in a bizarre way transferred their land to people close to them. The scarce legal regulations in prescribing the prohibition of additions, superstructures and fencing, especially in the urban part of the city, lead to a large number of property disputes, but also to confusion among citizens considering that the officials of the Municipality of Nikšić do not even have information related to this pressing problem, and they are obliged to have the same," he said in his statement.

He said that the URA, as the future constituent of the government in Nikšić, will correct these anomalies, bring them into a realistic relationship with the paying power of the people of Nikšić, as well as stop the practice of recklessly filling the municipal budget through the backs of the poorest and most vulnerable citizens.

"Poor zoning (houses 200 meters away from Željezara are the first zone), building permit prices at the level of coastal municipalities and blackmail by the local DPS on residents of Roma settlements before every election, a huge percentage of whom live in illegal buildings, are just some of the problems that plague the citizens of Nikšić," he announced.

As he also said, he will advocate for the fee for legalization to be abolished, except in zones 1 and 2, where there is a city water supply system.

"In that part of the city, the prices must be reasonably reduced. After participating in the government, the URA will advocate for this through institutional means," concludes Batrićević.
