The Ministry of Sustainable Development and Tourism rejected the request of the Municipality of Pljevlja for the issuance of a building permit for the city's heating plant, which is to be built in the industrial zone in the settlement of Radosavac.
In the explanation, the Ministry stated that the request is rejected for formal reasons, and that the decision is final and that no appeal can be filed against it, but only a lawsuit to the Administrative Court, within 20 days of receiving the decision.
Due to the lack of a building permit, work on the construction of the municipal heating plant in Pljevlja will not begin this year, as announced by the President of the Municipality of Pljevlja Mirko Đačić.
With the construction of the heating plant, the boiler house in Skerlićeva Street in the city center, which is marked as one of the biggest air polluters, would be closed.
The municipality submitted a request for a building permit to the Ministry on August 27. A few days later, the Ministry determined that the request was incomplete, leaving the local authorities five days to submit the necessary documentation. At its request, the deadline was additionally extended to the municipality, but even after the expiration of the extended deadline, the local administration did not submit the requested documentation, so the Ministry made a decision and rejected the request of the Municipality.
At the request of the Ministry, the Municipality recently had to complete the main project, which cost an additional 12 thousand euros.
The project for the construction of a city heating plant in Pljevlja was completed last year, and this year the new Law on Spatial Planning and Building Construction came into force. In the Municipality, "Vijesti" did not answer why they did not conform the project to the new law before submitting the application for the issuance of a building permit, but the Ministry had to warn them about it.
The Directorate of Public Works recently signed a contract for the construction of a city heating plant worth 3,59 million euros with the Pljeval company Tim kompani. The deadline for the completion of the works is seven months from the date of the introduction of the contractor to the work.
Although the local administration has previously assured the citizens several times that the city's heating plant will be built no later than 2018, it is uncertain whether the work will be completed next year.
The tender for the construction of the city heating plant in Pljevlja was announced at the end of last year, and the Directorate of Public Works postponed the deadline for opening bids six times. In the Municipality of Pljevlja, they justified it by the great interest of companies.
