Mayor Miomir Mugoša and director of the company "Čelebić" Tomislav Čelebić cut the ribbon of the partially completed Bazaar in Block 5, in the presence of the President of Montenegro Filip Vujanović and numerous other officials of the ruling party.
Part of the bazaar was completed a year ahead of schedule and opened in the midst of the election campaign.
Mugoša briefly said that "nothing is accidental", answering a question regarding the opening of the Bazaar on the eve of the elections.
He pointed out that it was announced more than a year ago that the shopping center would be completed.
"In the next month or two, the second floor will be equipped. When it comes to sellers from the Small Market, we have provided space to the largest number of current tenants. Whoever is not satisfied - we always have time for discussions,'' Mugoša said.
He said that the idea to build the Bazaar is three decades old, pointing out that it was built in "record time" and opened a year earlier than planned.
The official opening of the Bazaar was also attended by the mayor's deputy Vladan Vučelić, Zoran Jelić, head of the DPS Committee Club in the Capital Assembly Momčilo Vujošević, DPS political director Branimir Gvozdenović and other numerous officials of the ruling party.
After 14 months from the start of construction, the Green Market was opened, with about 100 stalls, an area of about 1.100 square meters, then the "Voli" hypermarket, "Buzz Cafe" on the first floor and a garage in the basement, with more than 350 parking spaces.
The total area of the Bazaar is 17.400 square meters. The value of the investment is 13 million euros, of which four were invested by the Capital City for land and utility costs, and nine by the "Čelebić" company.
Mugoša pointed out that one must know what can be sold at the stalls.
"Technical goods and textiles can no longer be sold on stalls, nor can food be sold on the streets. The market must be cleaned up, you know what is sold there,'' said Mugoša, announcing in the next 15 days a tender for the construction of a smaller shopping center in Konik and promising that bazaars will be opened in Tuzi and Golubovci for the year.
He said that the Little Market will be removed, explaining that there will be a temporary parking lot in that place. Mugoša announced that later, depending on the "interest of citizens", an area for recreation and sports will be created.
The DUP, however, foresees the construction of religious buildings in that area, but the religious communities do not know what kind, as "Vijesti" previously wrote about...
Maja Krstajić, the spokeswoman for the company "Čelebić", said that business premises on the first floor with recognizable brands will also start operating soon.
"In the next month or two, the youngest fellow citizens will get a children's entertainment center, with a playroom, a nursery and other elements that were missing for the youngest in the city," announced Krstajić.
Mugoša pointed out that all citizens will be able to park their vehicles in the basement at a "favorable" price, but that it has not yet been determined.
"Monthly tickets for using the parking lot 24 hours should be 60 euros, and in the period from 16 to 20 p.m. it should be more affordable," said Mugoša.
"You're here, lightning", Filip
Mugoša and Vujanović, accompanied by numerous DPS officials, visited the market, with sectors for the sale of fruits and vegetables, cheese and dairy products, eggs and flowers, and an agricultural pharmacy.
Vujanović shook hands with citizens and vendors, and the president was warmly greeted with the words: "You're here, lightning". After cutting the ribbon, citizens rushed to the hypermarket, and on the first floor some of them had a drink in the coffee bar in the company of DPS officials.
Celebić helped "1. June" with 5.000
The company "Čelebić" presented a donation of five thousand euros for the adaptation of the space of the Resource Center "1. June", to help children improve and train.
Director of the Center Zoran Bošković thanked on behalf of the children, parents and employees and explained that this money is "the beginning of building their dreams". "It will be used for the construction of a gymnasium where children and athletes who are members of the Paralympic team will have recreation," said Bošković.
