The contractor company Ving has filed a report with the Pljevlja police against individuals who this morning demolished a protective fence placed around a construction site in Omladinska Street in Pljevlja, which is to be reconstructed. This was confirmed to Vijesti by the mayor of Pljevlja, Dario Vraneš.
He also said that the municipality has filed a criminal complaint against one of the tenants who is preventing the work from being carried out due to an attack on an official - a municipal police officer.
Previously, the Municipality of Pljevlja filed criminal charges against four citizens for obstructing the reconstruction of Omladinska Street.
Yesterday morning, the residents did not allow the work to continue, even though the local government had hired private security. The residents accused the private security of hitting one of the elderly residents in the head while installing the fence.
The Municipality announced earlier this week that the work would continue with the presence of police officers.
When asked by Vijesti whether they had sought police assistance, Vraneš said "that they had written several times to the Pljevlja police, the police control and the minister."
Residents of Omladinska Street in Pljevlja have been preventing workers from the Ving company from continuing construction for several days and are asking the municipality to abandon the construction of the road because it would endanger the surrounding buildings and the residents who live in them.
Vranes is asking the tenants to allow the contractor to begin work on the road construction and claims that they have all the necessary documentation and permits.
He also said that the project is of public interest and is worth almost half a million euros.
One of the tenants of the nearby Rade Potpara building recently filed a criminal complaint on behalf of the tenants against the Municipality of Pljevlja and the Directorate for Development and Investments because they believe that the local government wants to build a hundred meters of road near the city center, regardless of the interests of the citizens.
Due to the intention to build a road, he also filed a report with the Urban Planning and Construction Inspection.
"The main reasons for our opposition to the construction of the street are that the legally defined conditions were not respected, that is, there was no public discussion about this project. We are not familiar with the details of the project nor do we see any public interest in the local community. Such a construction method is not in line with the public interest to mutual satisfaction, and the safety of the buildings, as well as the pedestrians themselves on the said route is questionable, due to the high retaining walls, proximity to residential areas, creation of cuts between residential buildings, disruption of the quality of life, destruction of green areas, and the like," Potpara stated in the application.
The city's first man says that Omladinska Street is being reconstructed so that it has an exit onto Ulica III Sandžačke brigade and so that it will no longer be a dead end.
