The members of Democratic Montenegro, eight of them, submitted an urgent request to the President of the Budva Municipal Assembly, Krsto Kiko Radović, to include in the agenda of the next parliamentary session a decision on determining the public interest in the expropriation of the most attractive plots of land in the narrower part of the city, in order to turn them into a park and prevent their concreting.
Bearing in mind that, after almost a year and a half, and fortunately for the construction lobby, the moratorium on construction on the most attractive part of Budva along the coast "from Avala to Zavala" will "fall", the Budva Democrats requested that the green area in front of TQ Plaza, the plot of 2.947 square meters owned by the company "Velja voda lux" expropriated and thus kept as a park, as it is currently. A hotel is planned to be built on this plot, and it is currently the only green area in the inner city core.
The Democrats are also asking for the expropriation of a large land complex of 21.031 square meters within the Slovenska Plaža Tourist Resort, owned by the "Budvanska Riviera" Hotel Group, which has been the only green oasis in Budva for years and one of the most beautiful parks on the coast.
The hotel group has been nurturing this green area for years, and the former DPS city government had the idea to turn it into a park six years ago, when it wanted to buy the land complex, although it was never realized.
The Democrats' latest request is submitted ahead of the announced restructuring of the Hotel Group and its privatization, and due to fears that the new owner, who buys the state package of shares, might want to build on green areas.
"The reasons for making a decision on the determination of public interest are found in the fact that the valid planning documents, as well as the planning documents adopted in the Budva municipal council, in the past two decades have resulted in the complete devastation of the area, especially those areas located in the strict center of Budva or located in the most exclusive locations right next to the baths and the old city center. Also, the planners and those who adopted such plans completely neglected the city's green areas, roads, parking spaces, educational, cultural and sports facilities, and the focus was directed to the construction of residential buildings, which visually and with their size and number of floors completely devastated the city and caused "irreparable damage to the image of Budva as a Mediterranean tourist destination," states the request of the Democratic councilor, which "Vijesti" had access to.
The intention, as they point out, is to adopt such a decision to create the necessary condition that, in the sense of public interest, in the land expropriation procedure, the mentioned plots are excluded and turned into public city parks and landscaped green areas.
