Klikovac: They don't care about regulations, inspections to get involved
Former member of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) in the Assembly of the Capital City Andrija Klikovac he told "Vijesti" that the company's actions were "frivolous and irresponsible".
"The expiration of the necessary license for the designer and contractor of the company 'Roads' and the failure to apply for a new license only shows how frivolous and irresponsible the director of the company is," said Klikovac.
He stated that the new management "doesn't care about regulations", and assessed that they are not working in the interest of the citizens.
"The new management of citizens does not care about regulations, about respecting the law, because their arrogance means that they are above the laws of the state of Montenegro," he said.
Klikovac appealed to the competent institutions to investigate the situation with the lack of the necessary license to the end and take further steps.
"The competent institutions should carry out an inspection of the Podgorica company 'Roads' and inform the public about further irregularities in the work of that company," said Klikovac.
