For the first time in recent history, the report on the state of development of the area of Tivat municipality for 2023, which will be presented to the councilors today, will not contain any information on the state of development of the most attractive part of the area in that municipality - its sea coast.
As stated in that extensive document, the Public Company for Marine Asset Management (JPMD) did not submit the requested information for the territory of the municipality of Tivat to the local administration, which refers to the situation in that area and the measures it took to regulate and control it last year. JPMD.
The total area of the marine property zone in the municipality of Tivat is 746,3 hectares, which is 16,2 percent of the total area of the municipality. The length of the coastline of the sea property in the municipality of Tivat is 41,81 kilometers (4,75 is the circumference of the island and 37,06 kilometers is the length of the mainland coast), the length of the beach is 9,22 kilometers, and their area is 7,09 hectares.
About everything that happened last year in that most attractive area of Tivat in terms of building new permanent or installing temporary facilities, how JPMD manages that part of Tivat's territory and water area, the income it collects from them and the funds that JPMD returns to Tivat in the form of its investments in landscaping and maintenance of the coast, there is not a word in the Report on the state of development of the proto area of the municipality of Tivat for 2023.
The management of JPMD did not respond to the requests of the local administration and did not provide it with the usual requested information, as all other local or state entities did, whose data and reports on the state of the areas that these entities deal with are regularly sublimated in the annual report of the Municipality on the state of spatial planning, which it goes before councilors in the local parliament. And this year, that document contains detailed reports from the Directorate for Investments from several dozens of investments in local infrastructure and public facilities, data from the Secretariat for Spatial Planning on the state of planning documents and the environment, the chief city architect on issued and denied consents for the construction of various facilities and the state of legalization of illegal construction, the Directorate for Property and Legal Affairs in connection with expropriation, the Secretariat for Traffic and Communal Housing Affairs on the state of local roads and the housing stock, the Secretariat for the Economy on the state of tourism, entrepreneurship, agriculture and water management, the Municipal and Water Works on the state of public of hygiene and water supply, CEDIS on the state of electricity supply... The only exception is the "hole" in the document is the data for the state in the most attractive part of the Tivat region - the marine resource zone.
The only information that exists in the Report on the State of Spatial Planning for 2023 is that prepared by the Secretariat for Inspection and Communal Supervision of the Municipality, because the Communal Inspection is responsible for the control of temporary buildings in the marine property zone, which the inspection controlled last year in total 68.
Of these, as many as 39 (that is, over 57 percent of those controlled) were found not to have complete documentation, and an administrative procedure was initiated for their removal.
During 2023, by order of the inspector, nine temporary structures were removed in the marine property zone in Tivat, and three applications for the installation/construction of temporary structures in that zone were rejected due to incomplete documentation.
"The JPMD, for the purposes of preparing the Report on the State of Spatial Development for 2023, did not submit the requested information on activities on the development and construction of the coast on the territory of the municipality," the document says.
The Report states that "in 2022. year spent in communication with representatives of JPMD regarding the legalization of anchoring in the Tivat Bay, which resulted in the determination of a location suitable for anchoring vessels in the Tivat Bay near the island of Sveti Marko".
"The Government did not respond to the requests of the Municipality for the assignment of that location to the Municipality, in 2023 an emergency was sent, to which no response was received until the date of this Report's preparation," the document says.
The civic list Narod pobejeđa, which is the backbone of the current local government in Tivat, announced earlier in the election campaign that it would request the abolition of the JPMD and the return of greater powers to the coastal municipalities in relation to planning and management of their coast, and similar announcements had previously come from the Democrats, i.e. of their staff Stevan Katić and Vladimir Jokić who are the mayors of Herceg Novi and Kotor. However, the state government has not done anything regarding the decentralization of the management of the sea coast and the eventual abolition or transformation of that public company.
There is no Temporary Facility Installation Program
An additional problem that will surface this year regarding the situation in the marine property zone in that city is the fact that the current Program for the installation of temporary facilities in the marine property zone, which was adopted for the period 2019-2023, has expired. years, as well as the Atlas beaches on the Tivat Riviera. Until now, those documents have been adopted by the JPMD and the Government without the possibility of greater influence of the local government on them, that is, the input of the people of Tiv themselves on how they want the sea coast of their city to look like and how much a marina of floating mooring pontoons, bathing areas with special regimes is really needed. beach bars, expensive sunbeds or plasticizing beaches with swimming pool furniture, the rental of which makes money for swimming pool tenants.
Due to the non-adoption of the new Plan of Temporary Facilities and the Atlas of Beaches, local administrations and residents of coastal cities were not even in a situation to see what the Government and the JPMD "planned" for them for the coming summer.
