Citizens can breathe a sigh of relief, because the green corner and green oasis in Beogradska Street will be preserved and that is the most important message, announced today the Mayor of Podgorica, Saša Mujović.

"I can say that I am more than satisfied with the outcome of the meeting at which I spoke with the gentlemen from the Eurozox company. They showed a very high degree of understanding, which I expected from them. The goal has been achieved because there will be no construction, but it is still too early to talk about an alternative location and compensation for the Eurozox company, because this issue is now directly between the Capital City, that is, the authorities and services, and the Eurozox company, and I firmly believe that a compromise solution will be found here very soon," Mujović wrote on the social network Instagram.

The Eurozox company is willing to abandon the construction of a residential building on Beogradska Street in Podgorica, behind the Ziya Hotel, where a 70-year-old protected tree was cut down on the night between Friday and Saturday.

This was told to "Vijesti" earlier today after a meeting with Mujović by the company's commercial director, Željko Šljivančanin.

He said that everything is "verbally agreed upon for now", but that "an alternative solution is being sought".

According to him, the "disputed" location will not be devastated, but a new place needs to be found for the construction of a residential building.

Residents of Beogradska Street have been on guard for two nights after a tree was cut down. They expressed concern for the environment they live in. On Monday, May 19, citizens protested because two weeks ago, several people were roaming the green area owned by Eurozox.
