Ulcinj's ruling coalition held meetings last night and the night before last in Ulcinj, where they allegedly discussed the options they would take depending on how the Parliament would react during the re-decision on one of Montenegro's agreements with the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

One option is to allegedly block some roads in Ulcinj as a warning sign before the vote in the Assembly.

On the night of April 22nd and 23rd, the Parliament of Montenegro confirmed two agreements between the governments of Montenegro and the UAE - on economic cooperation, and tourism and real estate development.

These documents were signed on March 28 in Dubai by Prime Minister Milojko Spajić (Europe Now Movement), after which he sent them to the parliamentary procedure in the form of a bill.

Previously, he presented to the leaders of Ulcinj and local parties the intention of Arab billionaire Mohamed Alabar to allegedly invest 35 billion euros in the construction of a tourist complex in that municipality and to lease the entire Ulcinj Velika Plaža for 99 years.

Part of the public, political parties, and the non-governmental sector claim that the agreements, primarily those on tourism and real estate development, are contrary to state interests in several areas and that they jeopardize Montenegro's path towards the EU.

The Ulcinj government, part of the civil sector, as well as some Albanian parties in the state government protested against the agreement.

On April 29, Head of State Jakov Milatović returned a controversial document - on tourism and real estate development - to parliament for reconsideration, while he signed a decree proclaiming an agreement on economic cooperation with the UAE.
