Jadranka Vukčević, director of the Directorate for Local Self-Government in the Ministry of Public Administration, which manages the work of the Committee for the Delimitation of the Capital City, the Municipality of Tuzi and the Municipality within the Capital City of Golubovci, told "Vijesti" that they continue to collect data from relevant institutions such as the Administration for real estate, the Bureau of Statistics and local government bodies responsible for urban planning issues.
"Given that these are still preparatory activities, the members of the Board did not consider specific issues, nor did they put forward specific proposals. After collecting the relevant documents, the Board will form narrow working teams from among the direct executors who perform urban planning, cadastre and property rights in the local administration bodies of the Capital City and Tuza, as well as from among the local administration authorities of the municipality within the Capital City of Golubovci, after which they will to be able to consider specific proposals for territorial delimitation", said Vukčević.
With the formation of the Municipality of Tuzi, Podgorica was left without 15 percent of its territory. The youngest municipality in Montenegro was created by separating the territory in the north and northwest of Lake Skadar and in the southeast of the capital with a total area of 236 square kilometers. In modern history, Podgorica has never been within narrow limits, remaining without mountains, villages and part of the lake. Where those borders go is yet to be determined. The most intriguing thing for the public is how they will demarcate the issue of Plantaž, Landfill, Kuća Rakića, Cijevna, Korita, Mataguža...
At the end of last year, a committee was formed that will work on the demarcation of the capital and Tuza. The board includes representatives of the Municipality of Tuzi, the Capital City and the Ministry of Public Administration. There is no representative of the Municipality within the Capital City - Golubovci, although the border line runs between Zeta and Tuzi. Only a few board meetings have been held so far.
The ministry states that they will engage a representative from Zeta in the work of the commission.
Commission member Nik Đeljošaj, who was elected as the President of the Municipality and is a member of the Board, did not want to comment for "Vijesti" about the delimitation of the capital and Tuza and Golubovac and the newly formed municipality.
Đeljošaj previously claimed that the entire territory of the Kuće Rakića settlement belongs to the municipality of Tuzi and that there is nothing in dispute for him. He said that the administrative building of the company Deponija is also on the territory of Tuzi. All settlements that are determined by the Law on Territorial Organization to belong to Tuzi will be ours, Đeljošaj told the media earlier. According to the Law on the Territorial Organization of Montenegro, the municipality of Tuzi, based in Tuzi, includes the settlements of Arza, Barlaj, Vuksanlekići, Gornja Selišta, Gornji Milješ, Gurec, Zatrijebač, Poprat, Rudine, Budza, Benkaj, Delaj, Muzečka, Nikmaraš, Stjepovo, Koće, Dinoša, Donja Selišta, Donji Milješ, Drume, Krševo, Lovke, Paškala, Pikalja, Prifta, Pothum, Skorać, Spinja, Traboin, Nabom, Helmica, Šipčanik, Vranj, Vladne, Drešaj, Dušići, Kotrabudam, Omerbožovići, Sukuruć, Cijevna and Houses of Rakić and other settlements determined by a special decision of the municipality.
Jovan Kavarić, a member of the Council for the Development and Protection of Local Self-Government, announced that the borders between the former city municipalities of Golubovci and Tuzi are disputed and that they should be harmonized.
At the Council session in February 2017, he pointed out what was disputed about the borders between the then two city municipalities.
"I was a member of the commission for the formation of the city municipalities of Golubovci and Tuzi, and at that time I was very surprised by the fact that the cadastral division of the municipalities goes so that the road to Mataguža
- Tuzi border between Tuzi and Mataguž. On the left side is the oldest Orthodox church in Zeta, from Mataguška-Vranje, and it belongs to Tuzi. The elementary school that was built when I was mayor also belongs to the territory of Tuza, according to that cadastral part. I ask that you pay attention to align it with the actual situation. It wouldn't make any sense for a church with so many grave sites and a school to possibly belong to the Tuzis, that's absurd," Kavarić said at the time. Locals from Mataguž are already announcing that they will not agree to such a withdrawal of borders.
He then explained to the members of the Council where the border between the two city municipalities used to go.
"Once upon a time, the border between the city's municipalities went over the hill between Mataguž and Vranj, so Vranj was also once a Mataguš municipality. I would ask that the ethical composition be completely preserved and it would be good to harmonize it with the actual situation on the ground, if that is possible, given that it is about the independence of both municipalities, so it is very important that it be done fairly," he said. is then Kavarić.
The separation of Tuzi from Podgorica also led to political turbulence, so 11.904 voters from Tuzi, who elected their own and the city's parliament, were left without the so-called "double vote".
Aligrudić: The sons-in-law are constantly taking territory
Milorad Mića Aligrudić, a long-time citizen activist from Zeta, claims that a new theft of Zeta territory is being prepared. Aligrudić has complete documentation of how Zeta lost its municipal status and how it regained the status it has now. Aligrudić reminds that Zeta was a municipality as early as 1873.
He sent Tanja Stajović and Ratko Stijepović complete documentation on the territory of Zeta and its status to the leaders of the Municipality within the Capital City of Golubovci.
"In Golubovci, the municipality of Zeta was founded in 1910 with the settlements of Balabani, Berislavci, Bijelo Polje, Bistrice, Vukovci, Golubovci, Goričani, Gostilj, Kurilo, Mojanovići and Šušunja. When the rest of Zeta and Malesia were liberated in 1912, the Municipality of Mataguži was founded in the same year. In addition to that settlement, it included Vladne, Vranj, Dušići, Pothum and Sukuruć. After the end of the First World War, there was a new administrative division into Donja and Gornja Zeta, and the Municipality of Mataguži continued to exist as a separate entity. Those three municipalities had an area of 27.000 hectares. It is interesting that the municipality of Gornja Zeta started from the Ljubović hill, Drpa Mandić and Šćepović houses, and it was like that until the end of the Second World War. In that period, the municipality of Gornja Zeta had the settlements of Botun, Ljajkovići, Mahala, Mitrovići, Srpska, Dajbabe, Zabjelo and Kuće Rakića. After the Second World War, based on a political decision, Vranj, Dajbabe and Zabjelo were taken from Zeta. A new mistake was made in 1957, when supposedly small, unsustainable municipalities were abolished by political decree, including Zeta," says Aligrudić. Aligrudić claims that the promulgation of the Law on the Capital City in 2005 and the formation of the GO Golubovci meant a new usurpation of the territory of Zeta.
"At that time, Zeta was deprived of an area of 1.616 hectares of the industrial zone included in the GUP of the village of Mitrovići and 1.384 hectares of the village of Vranjine, which is a total of 30 square kilometers," says Aligrudić and adds that in September 2009 they had objections to the Law on the Territorial Organization of Montenegro. Above.
He claims that the Statute of the Capital City and the statutory decision of GO Golubovci do not specify the cadastral territory of Zeta.
So far, only Mataguži is mentioned as a stumbling block in the demarcation of the municipalities of Tuzi and Zete, i.e. the part where the church of St. Nicholas, the cemetery and dozens of houses are located. And the opposition in Golubovci claims that they are preparing to seize the territory of Zeta.
Three members from the capital on the board
The committee in front of the Capital City includes Miomir Jakšić, Secretary for Finance, Mladen Ilić, Executive Director of the Property Directorate and Oliver Marković, Secretary for Planning and Spatial Planning and Environmental Protection. The committee also includes Jadranka Vukčević from the Ministry of Public Administration, as well as representatives of the Municipality of Tuzi Emin Hadži, acting secretary for finance, local revenues and investments, Nik Đeljošaj, president of the Municipality of Tuzi and Nermin Alibašić, secretary of the Municipal Assembly.
