And while we can often hear that buildings in Podgorica are springing up literally overnight, Televizija Vijesti brings an example of one that has been under construction for almost 14 years.
It is a building in the city center that was originally planned for the needs of the Montenegrin Academy of Sciences and Arts (CANU), since then its purpose has been changed several times.
The new government has plans for it again, but it is still not known when it will finally get the first tenants.
In the center of Podgorica, as soon as you pass the Milenijum bridge, you must have noticed a multi-story building a long time ago.
The foundation stone for the new CANU building in Podgorica, as originally planned, was laid by then Prime Minister Igor Lukšić on January 25, 2011.
In the meantime, the academics got a new building, and this building's purpose changed - first for the Ministry of Justice, then for the Department of Foreign Affairs.
But it doesn't end there. Judging by the answers Televizija Vijesti received from the Ministry of Spatial Planning, Urbanism and State Property, the Ministry of Finance will move here for five years.
What the previous governments meant when they said that activities were intensified, we have seen many times until now. As well as when they make a decision on the purpose of an object. The question that arises is - will the building in Ivan Crnojevića Boulevard really get tenants this time? Or will they just continue the streak out of habit...
