The Public Company for Maritime Zone Management of Montenegro has begun activities to install new pontoons in the waters of the Port of Budva, with the aim of significantly increasing the number of utility berths and improving conditions for users and visitors. This was announced by the state-owned company.
"The public procurement procedure has been completed, and the process of transporting and assembling the pontoons is currently being finalized. The new pontoons are planned to be installed and put into operation next week. Unfortunately, during the implementation of the project, we were faced with obstruction by the Municipality of Budva, which responded negatively to the request for trucks to deliver the pontoons to the final point - the Port of Budva. Specifically, we were prevented from passing through the ramp and the public road leading to the Old Town," the Coastal Zone Authority points out.
A ban of this kind by the Municipality of Budva, they add, "is not in accordance with the law, common sense, or public interest."
"Despite the aforementioned obstructions, the Public Enterprise remains fully committed to implementing all planned activities, which aim to improve the development of Budva and the entire Montenegrin coast. After more than two decades, the Port of Budva will receive a larger number of utility berths and infrastructure that will significantly contribute to citizens, sailors and the economy," concludes the statement from JP Morsko dobro.
