Kovačević with the residents of the barracks: The municipality has used all legal remedies, we will help as much as possible

"We will react when it comes to Terić. It is indeed a difficult situation. These are specific examples, such as a settlement like Trudbenik or this one. People are losing roofs over their heads for many years and we have a slightly greater moral obligation to help than in these regular situations. It will not be a rule that we work with everyone in the same way, but in these cases we will help"

The President of the Municipality of Nikšić, Marko Kovačević, received the representatives of the tenants of the shacks and explained to them that in all the previous procedures concerning their case, the Municipality used all legal remedies and that they no longer have anything at their disposal when it comes to that area .

Vaso Terić from Nikšić was forcibly evicted today from his apartment in a shack in Vuka Mićunovića Street, in the Rastoci neighborhood of Nikšić. The public bailiff and the police came this morning before nine o'clock, even though the forced eviction of Terić was scheduled for 10 o'clock.

"We bear no responsibility when it comes to this situation, nor do we have any obligations or rights to influence anything. However, just as we, as a responsible local self-government, helped everyone, we will help them as much as possible. We will react when it comes to Terić. It is indeed a difficult situation. These are specific examples, such as a settlement like Trudbenik or this one. People are losing roofs over their heads for many years and we have a slightly greater moral obligation to help than in these regular situations. It will not be a rule that we work with everyone in the same way, but in these cases we will help", said Kovačević.

The public bailiff, with the help of the police and representatives of the company that bought the land on which the barracks are located, where 11 families live, tried yesterday to carry out a forced eviction, but Terić's neighbors prevented her from doing so.

These are former workers of the construction company "Prvoborac" who have been living in temporary buildings since 1994, and who recently received eviction notices, because since August 31, 2020, the owner of the land is the company "Sab sekjuriti" from Herceg Novi.

According to the tenants of the barracks, that company bought the land of almost six thousand square meters for 190.000 euros, and last year it concluded a preliminary purchase agreement with the company "Agrologistika".
