Budva Municipal Inspection calls on Urban Planning Inspection to combat illegal construction in Rafailovići

The Municipal Inspection of the Municipality of Budva has requested a letter from the Urban and Construction Inspection of the Ministry of Spatial Planning to carry out an inspection of a residential building on the beach in Rafailovići, whose top floor was built without a permit.

This is stated in a letter that "Vijesti" had access to, in which the Municipal Inspection handed over the case of illegal construction in Rafailovići to the jurisdiction of the inspection of the relevant ministry.

Last week, restaurateur Jovica Samardžić filed a report with the Municipal Inspectorate of the Municipality of Budva and the State Prosecutor's Office that, without his consent and without a building permit, a house on the very coast in Rafailovići, of which he is the majority owner, was extended by one floor.

Samardžić, who is a Montenegrin citizen and spends most of the year in Vienna on business, after ten months of absence, as he told "Vijesti", upon his arrival he found that the upper floor of the house had been extended by 180 square meters, and that, as the owner of three-sixths of the building, he had neither been informed nor given his consent, which is required by law.

"I am writing to you with a request that the competent inspection go out to the field to determine the factual situation at the facility located in Rafailovići. I have been the majority owner of the house since 2005. I was absent for a period of ten months, and upon my return I determined that a facility had been built on the house without my knowledge and consent," Samardžić stated in his report to the Communal Inspection.

He asked the Municipal Inspectorate to urgently go to the scene and carry out an inspection, and to inform the competent state authorities about this, so that a decision could be made to demolish the illegal part of the building and thus prevent the possible legalization of something that was built without a single piece of paper.

"The Municipal Inspection was approached by Jovica Samardžić from Budva, as a co-owner of a residential building in Rafailovići, with a request to take action due to a building constructed on the residential building in question without his knowledge and consent. According to the initiative, it was built by the condominium co-owner Nebojša Marković, who lives on the top floor of the building in question. Considering that in this specific case it is a reconstruction with an extension of an already completed building, pursuant to Article 62 of the Law on Administrative Procedure, and in connection with Article 158 of the Law on Construction, we are forwarding the aforementioned initiative to your jurisdiction," the letter from the Municipal Inspection states.

Samardžić additionally informed the competent inspection services, stating that the building had been upgraded without the appropriate building permit.

"During the works, the main supporting pillars of the building rested on an old dry line that has existed for more than 50 years and represents the border between the plots. Therefore, there is concern that the boundary has been violated, as well as a potential danger to the stability of the wall and the surrounding area," Samardžić emphasized.

He told "Vijesti" yesterday that he had spoken to Danica Milić, co-owner of one-sixth of the house in Rafailovići, who told him that she was not aware or informed that Nebojša Marković had carried out the construction of an illegal structure on the shared house. She also stated that she had not given any consent for these works nor had she been informed that such works were being carried out.

As stated in the real estate listing, which "Vijesti" had access to, the building, which is treated as a "holiday building (cottage), has an area of ​​160 square meters. Samardžić owns three-sixths of the building, and Danica Milić, Dušan Marković and Nebojša Marković each have one-sixth.
