Moving Forward: Obliging investors to inform buyers about what can be built when selling real estate

From the Naprijed Movement, they said that "unplanned construction will continue to torment the citizens of Podgorica for a long time unless a wider social consensus is reached that it must be stopped, that is, until we all realize together that we must protect the city from all those who, for personal interests, want to damage it and render inoperable"

We call on the government to initiate changes to the law, by imposing an obligation on investors to, when selling real estate, inform buyers of what can be built, i.e. what is planned with detailed urban plans on all sides of the building, so that buyers are not brought into error, which was the case in the earlier period, it was reported from the Forward Movement.

In a statement from that movement, they stated that unplanned construction has been a big problem in Podgorica for a long time, and that authorities are being replaced, but that none of them has yet found a way to solve it.

"The most recent example is the building that began to be built two meters away from the previously built one, on the stretch from the Vezir Bridge towards Vranjski Njive. In the quiet neighborhood of Gorica C, dominated by low-rise houses, a residential building of over 4.300 square meters has sprung up in the past months In Zabjelo, we have the illegal construction of Lamela C, which was soon stopped started digging the foundations, without obtaining a construction permit," reads the press release of the Naprijed Movement headed by Vuk Kadić.

They added that, unfortunately, there are still many such examples in Podgorica, and that no one is stopping unplanned construction, that is, that the building inspection is not doing its job properly.

"The first step in dealing with these problems should be the strengthening of the construction inspection, which would have adequate mechanisms to suppress unplanned construction. One of the measures should certainly be the introduction of a moratorium on further construction, especially in those parts of the city where it is especially expressed," the announcement reads.

From the Naprijed Movement, they said that "unplanned construction will continue to torment the citizens of Podgorica for a long time unless a wider social consensus is reached that it must be stopped, that is, until we all realize together that we must protect the city from all those who, for personal interests, want to damage it and render inoperative".

"Podgorica must once again be a green city, in whose natural beauty we will enjoy and in which the next generations will continue to live, work and contribute to its development and progress," the announcement concludes.

The Naprijed Movement list, headed by Kadić, with 2,75 percent of voter support, remained below the threshold in the local elections in Podgorica on September 29, and they lacked about 200 votes to enter the city parliament.

On October 13, the Naprijed movement announced that they submitted appeals to the Constitutional Court against the decisions of the State Election Commission (SEC), which rejected 14 objections related to, as they claim, irregularities in the elections in Podgorica.
