The day before yesterday, the Municipality of Budva placed security guards in front of the office on the sixth floor of the "TQ Plaza" complex, over which the Budva Tourism Organization and the newly appointed city manager are arguing. Marijana Božović, which made it impossible for anyone to enter the official premises. Security was lifted yesterday.
Božović, who two weeks ago was the vice president of the municipality Jasna Dokić appointed as city manager, she tried twice to enter the office, which was once used by her surname Milo Bozovic at the time when he was in that position while managing the city Marko Bato Carevic. The problem arose because after the appointment, she entered the office, which was unlocked, and which has been used by the assistant director of TOB for a year. Nicholas the King, without notifying anyone beforehand. Her stay, and later her entry, were thwarted on two occasions in the past seven days by employees of the Budva Tourism Organization, otherwise colleagues of Marijana Božović, bearing in mind that until her appointment she was employed in that municipal organization that promotes Budva's tourist offer. They then changed the lock and locked the office.
Unpleasant scenes and verbal incidents marked several hours of attempts to enter, for which the police were on the scene and warned that the law on public order in peace must be respected.
It is an office located on the sixth floor, where the offices of the Tourist Organization of Budva are also located, separated only by a corridor. The office, which the Municipality insists should belong to Marijana Božović, was furnished and decorated in her own way, and was then used by Milo Božović for two years, while covering the function of city manager. However, after the board of trustees appointed him as the first man of Budva, and previously Tsarević resigned, the offices went to the Tourist Organization.
The key to the offices is in the Tourist Organization, from which they told "Vijesta" that the offices were assigned to them by a parliamentary decision, and that the contract for their use was signed by the current President of the Municipality, Milo Božović.
Back in mid-September 2022, the Board of Trustees at that time made a decision to provide for the use and management of office space in the TQ Plaza complex.
The decision states that the decision was submitted to the Secretariat for Property Protection in a timely manner for implementation.
"The municipality, as the owner of property rights in the scope of 1/1, cedes to the management and use of TO Budva real estate registered in the real estate register with a total area of 401 and 372 square meters in the TQ Plaza building for the purpose of carrying out registered activities," reads the decision referred to by TO Budva.
That the offices belong to TO Budva was approved by Milo Božović himself, who at the end of March last year, while he was still at large, because he was arrested two weeks later by the Special Police Department, signed a contract for the management and use of the mentioned business premises.
"By signing this contract, the Municipality gives, and TO Budva receives, the use of business premises owned by the Municipality of Budva, with an area of 401 square meters on the sixth floor and business premises of 372 square meters on the third floor. TO Budva undertakes to use the business premises exclusively for the purpose of carrying out its activities, with the care of a good host, to protect them from damage and destruction and to bear the costs that would arise due to carelessness during use", says the contract signed by Božović and the current director of TO Budva Nemanja Kuljaca.
TO Budva, after the Municipality set up security yesterday and blocked the office, hired an expert from the geodetic profession to determine whether that office is also located in 401 square meters on the sixth floor, as stated in the cadastral records and the contract concluded with the Municipality.
On the other hand, a report was submitted to the police against an unknown person for usurpation.
This "struggle" essentially depicts a fierce political conflict between two political blocs that arose from the collapse of the former single coalition led by Milo Božović, which led to Budva going through two extraordinary election cycles within half a year.
The head of TO Budva is Nemanja Kuljača, who was second on the list "For the future of Budva - Mladen Mikijelj" in the last local elections, while Marijana Božović supported the newly formed club to which she belonged after the collapse of the councilor club of the united Democratic Front (DF). Nikola Jovanovic.
