In the very center of Budva, the company "Mia Investments" continues to build a complex on a plot of 8.500 square meters, despite the decision of the relevant ministry to cancel their approval of the conceptual design.

Until recently, the head of the municipality was worried that the construction site was still not sealed, and he sees the continuation of the works as a threat to the safety of citizens.

Janko Odović's department, on the other hand, claims that they undertake all actions in accordance with the law.

Solitaires near the hall of the Adriatic Fair in Budva are being worked on extensively, even though last month the consent to the conceptual design for these facilities was canceled.

Two towers of 15 and 16 floors are being built by the company "Mia Investments", which the Ministry of Spatial Planning and Urbanism canceled the application for the construction of this complex, after the municipality of Budva urged to protect the property of the metropolis of tourism.

Until recently, the head of the responsible secretariat was not clear why the construction site was not sealed.

"What really surprises us is the absolute absence of a reaction from the state, that is, from the Directorate for Inspection Supervision and Licensing. In the sense that they refuse to carry out the orders they are obliged to carry out. The investor, the contractor, does not have valid documentation today. If they are conscientious The investor and the person responsible, as they claim, should have stopped the construction work. They should start the whole procedure of obtaining all the consents again and only then, if they were to obtain a new construction permit, continue the work," said Đorđe Zenović, former head of the Secretariat for Protection. property of the Municipality of Budva.

The Ministry of Spatial Planning and Urbanism, whose work Zenović doubts, claim that they are taking all measures to determine the factual situation.

"We especially point out that, according to the Law on Inspection Supervision, the inspector is independent in carrying out inspection supervision. After the inspection procedure has been carried out, and after considering all the facts and circumstances of the case in question, the public will be informed in a timely manner," the ministry said.

In the previous days, the sea was also cloudy, after water and soil from the construction site of the future towers poured into the stream, which flows into the sea.

In addition, a concrete retaining wall collapsed on the adjacent construction site.

The fact that safety was not the number one decision in this case stems from the fact, says Zenović, that in December during the works, a water pipe was severely damaged.

"Which supplies water to the Old Town, Gospoština, the entire promenade, and we have received information from the water supply and sewerage system that there is a danger that during the summer season normal water supply will be difficult, and possibly even impossible," said Zenović.

From the Municipality of Budva and the company "Mia Investments", which brings together Turkish investors, Television News was denied answers to the questions it sent.

Zenović suspects that the consent of the Budva Waterworks was falsified, which is why he will file a criminal complaint himself.

"According to our information, the auditor 'Sedam-ing' pro, a company that was obliged by law to collect all the documentation, to give consent to the revised project, falsified the consent of the Water and Sewerage Authority that construction works can be carried out at the specific location," he said. Zenovic.

The construction of the tower is being realized on a plot of 8.500 square meters owned by the company "Safiro Beach", which concluded a joint construction contract with the Turkish company.

And the legal representative of the company, lawyer Miloš Komnenić, said at the end of September last year that the project was examined multiple times by various competent authorities, both the prosecutor's office and the relevant ministry.
