The Marine Control Service, in cooperation with the Municipal Inspection of the Municipality of Budva, today inspected the marine zone in the Budva area, at the location of Ostrvo Sveti Nikola, more precisely the bathing area marked as 5C, and on that occasion it was determined that the works were being carried out without permission.

"The user of the bathing area, the company 'NET MONTENEGRO' doo Podgorica, has begun construction works on the above-mentioned bathing area over a length of approximately 30 meters, which include concreting the structure with reinforced iron elements over a length of approximately 15 meters, as well as preparatory activities for the continuation of works for another 15 meters. Also, the installation of reinforcement and the presence of construction materials and equipment were recorded on the catering terrace, which indicates the continuity and intention to continue the works. The aforementioned works were carried out without the consent and approval of the Public Company for the Management of the Maritime Zone of Montenegro," the Maritime Zone stated.

After the inspection, as announced, the Municipal Inspection drew up a report on the inspection, which ordered the suspension of further work and the return of the area in question to its original condition.

"If the aforementioned order is not followed, or if the area is not restored to its original condition, the contract will be terminated in accordance with applicable legal procedures. The Coastal Zone Control Service will continue with regular and intensified field inspections in order to take all measures to protect the coastal zone," the Coastal Zone concluded.
