Vuksanović after Milatović's meeting with Botunjani: I can't say whether there has been any progress...

I cannot say whether there has been any progress, but there has been an open discussion and there is strength left to continue the conversation in order to reach a concrete solution, Nebojša Vuksanović, advisor to the President of Montenegro Jakov Milatović for domestic policy and economic development, announced today.

He told reporters after Milatović's meeting with representatives of the Zeta village of Botun. The topic of the meeting was the construction of a wastewater treatment plant in Botun.

"Unfortunately, the meeting was not attended by government representatives, although they were invited. The initiative itself came from the president, who saw that the problem with the collector was escalating. We have the position of the people from the Zeta Municipality and citizens who expressed it through a referendum. Both sides remained in trenches, concreted in, and that is why the president initiated a dialogue. There were no expectations that everything would be resolved in one meeting. The president made it very clear that his door was open. It is good that all parties met again," said Vuksanović.

The meeting of the President of Montenegro, Jakov Milatović, with the residents of Botuni was held today in the office of the President of Montenegro in Podgorica.

Podgorica Mayor Saša Mujović walked out the back exit while the meeting was still ongoing.

The meeting was also attended by the President of the Municipality of Zeta, Mihailo Asanović, the President of the Municipal Assembly (MA) of Zeta, Aleksandar Kojičić, and the representative of the Delegation of the European Union (EU) to Montenegro, Riccardo Seri.

There were no representatives of the Government of Montenegro at the meeting, although they were invited.
