Potential investor in Velika Plaza and billionaire from the Forbes list, Mohamed Alabar, said that he does not want to go against the wishes of the local community and the state in the project on Velika Plaza and claims that he will respect all domestic and European laws.

In an exclusive interview with Television Vijesti, Alabar admitted that he does not yet have a developed plan, but he presented a vision - how he imagines his project on Velika Plaza and what exactly he would build and how much.

"If you ask me what I would do on Velika Plaza, I would tell you that it would be a continuation of the beautiful architecture you have. There would be a lot of greenery, apartment buildings no higher than 3-4 floors, the beaches would remain accessible to all citizens but would be clean. The local community would also be involved, so that people who sell chicken in Ulcinj would sell more chicken in restaurants. People who sell shampoo would sell more shampoo in hotels," Alabar pointed out.

Alabar said that 50 percent of the land for the project in Ulcinj would be left for greenery, trees, roads, and bicycle routes.

"Apartments and hotels should not take up more than 20 percent of the total area. It's best to start with hotels and hotel apartments. If you don't listen to what the local community and the state want, then I don't think you should even do that project. And I really mean that. I'm a man who is very concerned about why we don't all live better. And, if I have a chance to make something better, then I will do it with all my heart," he said.

He said that he would respect everything that is in accordance with the laws of Montenegro and European Union legislation.

"Because I am not afraid of anything and I do my business out of love and from the heart. I still don't have a plan or project for Velika Plaza. The government and politicians are polite to me and have invited me to invest in your country, but even they don't know what can be built there. They will tell me - this can be done, this can't be done, and I will tell them - okay," said Alabar.

And how Alabar found out about Montenegro, which Montenegrin politicians he talked to about the investment in Velika Plaža, what other projects in Montenegro interest him, what he says about his project "Belgrade on the Water", see the show Načisto on Vijesti TV at 20 pm.
