The Action for Social Justice (ASP) sent an initiative to the National Council for the Fight against Corruption to consider the case of the reconstruction of the Football Stadium in Cetinje, and after collecting significant documentation that shows serious objections from the expert supervision of the project, the price of which is 8,8 million through additional works increased by another 1,6 million euros, it was announced today from that non-governmental organization (NGO).
"The case of the reconstruction/construction of the football stadium in Cetinje is one, out of a total of ten, for which the then Public Works Administration asked the Ministry of Sustainable Development in October 2020 to consider revoking the licenses of companies and authorized engineers who participated in the construction and revision project documentation for those investments. The request was sent immediately after the Democratic Party lost power, but the football stadium in Cetinje has not been completed for seven years. although the deadline for construction was three years. The foundation stone was laid in November 2017 by then Prime Minister Duško Marković, Mayor of Cetinje Aleksandar Bogdanović and President of the Football Association of Montenegro (FSCG) Dejan Savićević," the announcement states.
The ASP added that the price of the work was contracted to 8,8 million with the company Erlang, and that the largest part of the money was to be allocated from the capital budget, while part was to be financed by the Capital of Cetinje, and part by the Football Association of Montenegro (FSCG). .
"According to ASP's summary data, which were obtained through official means, about 4,4 million euros were paid from the treasury, which is half of the sum, FSCG allocated about 2,2 million, and the rest from the Capital of Cetinje. In the first part of this year, contracted are additional jobs for this investment of about 1,6 million euros, with a deadline of four months from the introduction of the work 320 and the completion of the work is delayed," said ASK.
The NGO said that the documentation in their possession states that the designer for the reconstruction of the football stadium in Cetinje is the company "Studio K" from Podgorica, while the company "Erlang" was put into work on November 16, 2017, by entry in the construction logbook. that already ten days later, the company "Urbi pro", as expert supervision, submitted a report that, after reviewing the project documentation, it was observed that the construction project was made on the basis of a geomechanical study from the neighboring location.
"It is necessary to hire a company that will do a geomechanical study for the location of the works, in order to make sure that the characteristics of the terrain provided by the project correspond to the actual situation on the spot", is a quote from the report of the expert supervision, which is at the disposal of the ASP.
From that NGO, they said that two months later, expert supervision asked the Public Works Administration for an urgent meeting with the designer, from whom it had previously asked to solve certain problems, because deficiencies and omissions in the project had been observed, which it considered to "significantly affect the stability, functionality and economy of the facility".
"In a new report from the end of February 2018, the expert supervision proposes that the amended project be returned for refinement and the investor requests an opinion from the consultant and the auditor, and in particular indicates that the objections to the central part of the East Stand significantly affect the stability of the building and that the conditions for continuation of the construction of the East Stand. problems, such as that 'the stirrup columns are not guided to the bottom of the foundation structure and are at a distance of 20 and 10 centimeters', and according to the rulebook for seismic areas, the maximum distance is 15 and 7,5 centimeters, if a smaller value is not specified," they said are from ASP
They state that in November 2019, the supervision wrote to the Directorate for Inspection Affairs and Licensing that a construction check had been carried out, because the new regulations are stricter than those that were valid at the time the design documentation was created, so the Main Project was changed in the construction part ( east and west tribune)...
"ASP expects that the National Council for the Fight against Corruption will consider the specific case, hire independent experts to analyze project solutions and the situation on the ground, as well as those who need to calculate the potential damage. This is especially so since one of the key goals of the current government is the fight against corruption, so the National Council, whose work has been little known in the public for months, should offer the maximum contribution to it," concludes the announcement of the ASP.
