The new meeting of the Committee for Degradation of the Municipality of Tuzi and Podgorica will be held on May 8, since representatives of the Capital City did not appear at today's meeting.
Representatives of Podgorica in the Board are Secretary for Finance Balša Špadijer, Acting Director of the Property Directorate Milica Kadović and Secretary for Spatial Planning and Miljan Barović.
The representatives of the Municipality of Tuzi came to the meeting scheduled by the President of the Board and the State Secretary in the Ministry of Public Administration, Naima Đokaj.
Đokaj told Vijesti that some representatives of the board from the capital justified their absence with business obligations, while some did not at all.
Board member on behalf of Tuzi and current Minister of Economic Development Nik Đeljošaj told the News that this is not the first time this has happened and that representatives of the Capital City have not come to Board sessions in the past two years.
Tuzi became an independent municipality in 2018. At the session held on September 27, 2018, the Assembly of the Capital City, in accordance with the Law on Amendments to the Law on Territorial Organization, made a decision on the formation of the Organizational Committee to create conditions for the start of the work of the newly established municipality of Tuzi.
The committee's task was to, in accordance with the law, propose a way of regulating relations, territorial delimitation and a way of dividing property, as well as other activities necessary to create conditions for the start of the newly established Tuzi Municipality. Since then, no agreement has been reached regarding the territorial demarcation and division of property between the Capital City of Podgorica and the Municipality of Tuzi.
Last month, the Government took the position that the demarcation between Tuzi and the Capital City should be completed first, and then the demarcation between Podgorica and the youngest municipality should be started.
In the process of demarcation with the capital, the municipality of Tuzi requests that the entire property owned by Podgorica be divided, and they believe that, in proportion to the territory and the number of inhabitants, about 15 percent of the total joint property belongs to them.
