Knežević claims that it was built for Đukanović: The villa is not in the cadastre, the authorities are silent

The house next to the Gorica villa, which the owner of the Atlas group Duško Knežević claims was built for Milo Đukanović, has not yet been registered in the cadastre.

The Real Estate Administration did not respond to "Vijesta" as to whether and who submitted a request for the registration of the villa, built on the city's construction land, given to businessman Vladan Ivanović.

In July 2013, the Secretariat for Planning and Spatial Planning issued Ivanović a building permit for the construction of a residential building next to Villa Gorica. The building permit states that the house covers 481 square meters and has a basement, ground floor and first floor.

The main project for the villa was done by the company "ID Studio" from Budva, and the report on the revision of the main project in November 2012 by the company "Urban Studio" from Podgorica. The leading designer is Irena Miljević, an architectural engineer from Belgrade.

According to cadastral data, Ivanović was given a fifth-class meadow of 1.579 square meters for use by the capital. As a burden, that is, a limitation, a note of the contract was entered - the construction period of the building is two years from obtaining the use permit. Among the solutions issued by the Secretariat for Planning and Spatial Planning of the Capital City in the last six years, there is no use permit issued to investor Ivanović for a house in Gorica.

On the sign posted at the construction site, it was written that the contractor was the company "Kroling" from Danilovgrad, while the expert supervision was carried out by the company "Master inženjering", owned by the investor.

During his appearance on the program "Nachisto" on Television Vijesti on Thursday, Knežević said that "the whole of Montenegro knows that it is Đukanović's house", even though it refers to his friend Vladan Ivanović.

The owner of "Atlas Group", whom the prosecution suspects of having formed a criminal group that illegally obtained millions of profits, said that the first conflict with Đukanović arose precisely around the house in Gorica.

"Đukanović offered me to lease the house in Gorica, when it was supposed to be built, however, I refused and the house is leased to Vlad Ivanović - his friend. I'm sorry to drag the government into all this, but it's a reality and I think that the state authorities should immediately launch an investigation and see how that house was financed and who is behind that house formally".

Knežević told Television Vijesti that he allegedly told Đukanović "that it is not normal for him to have a house of such size and value right next to Villa Gorica and that, when the government changes, it is not good for him to live there".

The construction of the house next to the Gorica villa began four years ago, on the land that the former Podgorica administration gave to Ivanović for use for a fee. The contract on the transfer of rights to construction land was signed by Ivanović and the then director of the Property Agency of Podgorica, Dragan Đukić. It says that the urban plot of 1.579 square meters is transferred for use for a fee. The price per square meter was 702 euros, i.e. 1.108.458 euros in total, and documents from the Secretariat for Finance confirm that Ivanovic paid the money to the account of the Podgorica budget.

"Vijesti" announced in February 2014 that the then mayor of Podgorica, Miomir Mugoša, made a decision to transfer 1.579 square meters of city construction land next to the "Gorica" ​​villas to Ivanović and that Đukanović should move into the house.

Mugoša made the decision after the DUP Nova varoš 2008 was amended in 2, which, in addition to the Villa Gorica, marked two plots right next to Atinska Street where Đukanović lives.

"Vijesti" announced five years ago that the Statute of the Capital City states that "the assets of the Capital City are at the disposal of the Assembly" and that it "can transfer the right to lease property and the right to sell movable property to the competent administrative bodies of the Capital City, in accordance with a special decision ", but that the practice is for the Podgorica Assembly to establish a framework plan for the sale of land, and Mugoša then makes decisions himself.

This was opposed by the opposition councilors.

In 2014, the PG Bureau announced that the Directorate for Property sold a plot of land below Gorica to Ivanović in a public invitation procedure.

They claimed that Mugoša's decision "necessarily stems from the public sale procedure", during which Ivanovic offered the highest amount of compensation for the land.

Petrović is not connected with the designers?

Knežević announced on Thursday that architect Zoran Petrović and his son "worked on the house and confirmed that it is the house of Milo Đukanović".

"Vijesti" was unable to get in touch with Petrović.

According to the data of the Central Register of Business Entities (CRPS), his name is not connected with the designers of the house in Gorica.
