"Until the Parliament of Montenegro adopts laws on spatial planning and construction of buildings," he shouts from there. Slaven Radunović, "there is no adoption of the Spatial Plan of Montenegro, and therefore no SPAs for several cities, which are being prepared in accordance with it" - and adds: "Purely so that citizens know".
Laws are not adopted - laws are passed, just so that citizens know (and in the Parliament of Montenegro - see: Passing laws, skupstina.me) - and then they are proclaimed - the laws are proclaimed by the president of this unfortunate little state - comrade Jakov Milatovic - and bills are adopted - and in three phases - or in three readings - which is not that important, of course - we understand what the poet at the head of the Ministry of Spatial Planning, Urbanism and State Property wanted to say - but here it is - just so that citizens know.
As for planning documents - in the current Law on Spatial Planning and Construction of Facilities (from 2017) we have "3. Preparation and adoption of planning documents / Types of planning documents" - and Article 15 - which says, please: "Planning documents are: / 1) the spatial plan of Montenegro; / 2) the general regulation plan of Montenegro. / The adoption of the spatial plan of Montenegro and the general regulation plan of Montenegro is mandatory (aha! - anyone who says otherwise is slandering and lying - and the fact that we are terribly late with the PP CG and the fact that the PGR CG was abandoned back in the days of General Krivokapić and Boss Mitket - that's aside - note.)./ The Spatial Plan of Montenegro and the General Regulation Plan of Montenegro shall be adopted by the Parliament of Montenegro...”
So, according to the 2017 Law (Paško's Code), the Spatial Planning of Montenegro is not adopted, as Slaven said, but is passed - and that in the Parliament of Montenegro - just so that citizens know - and as for spatial and urban plans - things are somewhat more complicated there - we would need, I'm afraid, an entire episode of one of the informative series on RTCG - and at least half a dozen top legal experts - to explain to us the famous Article 218 of the currently valid - Paško's Law - which served us as a kind of bridge between the Law on Spatial Planning and Construction of Facilities from the distant 2008 and the Paško's Law (the Law on Spatial Planning and Construction of Facilities from 2017) - and so that we would finally understand (and accept) Article 218 - in the context of the famous plan of general regulation of Montenegro - and since we have not had any knowledgeable people's tribune (general practice) - willing to raise difficult questions in the past period (all-encompassing friend Peric, let's say - or a no less comprehensive companion Ikovic) - and the new, novel law on spatial planning is already knocking on our door - I fear that all the difficult issues related to the 2008 Law and the 2017 Law are being moved to the domain of Montenegrin historiography - or, more specifically, swept under the carpet.
Which isn't that important, of course - but there you go - just so the citizens know.
What is important? What is important is that Milojkova The Government - at its 62nd session, held on December 19th last year - established, among other things - and, fanfare please: The Proposal for the Law on Spatial Planning - complete with the Report on the Public Debate on the Draft Law on Spatial Planning - which was conducted, by the way, in the period, it says, from May 18th to June 27th of the distant 2023 - which is to say that someone (we don't know who - Milojko, Slaven, Mrs. Izgarevic Pavicevic, Noci, or perhaps the all-encompassing comrade Srla) has come to mind, in the meantime, that the phrase 'spatial planning' sounds much better than the phrase 'spatial planning' - another question is whether we should accept the fact that the Report from the Public Discussion on the Draft Law on Spatial Planning should refer (also) to the Proposal for the Law on Spatial Planning - without asking ourselves what, by definition, 'spatial planning' is, and what, again by definition, 'spatial planning' is?
In Milojko's Proposal for the Law on Spatial Planning, we have "Contents of Spatial Planning/Article 2" - which says: "Spatial planning is considered to be monitoring the state of the space, the preparation, adoption and implementation of planning documents, the arrangement of construction land and the implementation of urban consolidation." - it doesn't say anything, it seems to me, about what is considered spatial planning, but I will check again, of course - but in the Draft Law on Spatial Planning from the distant 2023 - behind which Mrs. Novaković Đurović - former Minister of Ecology, Spatial Planning and Urbanism in the former Government Dritana captain (The brave captain, the hero of history, / he drives the Swabian divisions before him) - we have “Spatial Planning/ Article 2” - which says: “Spatial planning is considered to be the development, adoption and implementation of planning documents.” - it doesn't say anything, I think, about what is considered spatial planning, but I'll check again, anyway.
In the Law on Spatial Planning and Construction of Facilities from 2008 - we have "Spatial Planning/ Article 3 - which states: "Spatial planning is considered to be monitoring the state of space, determining the purpose, conditions and methods of using space through the preparation and adoption of planning documents, implementation of planning documents and regulation of construction land." - please - while in the current (Paško) Law on Spatial Planning and Construction of Facilities from 2017 - we have "II. Spatial Planning/ 1. Scope/ Content of Planning/ Article 7 - which states: "Spatial planning is considered to be monitoring the state of space, preparation and adoption of planning documents and implementation of planning documents.".
So much for that - I will refrain from comments and conclusions - I leave the comments and conclusions to you.
I wouldn't even go into this issue - honestly - but I just want the citizens to know.
It is also important that at some point, which is not that far off if Slaven is to be believed, we will have a (new) law on spatial planning (and not on spatial planning - which should, I repeat, refer to an earlier version of the Draft Law) - and immediately after that a new Spatial Planning Law of Montenegro - which will, inevitably - be based on the (old) Law on Spatial Planning and Construction of Buildings from 2017 - with the proviso that it is not at all clear to me how it is possible that there are Spatial Planning Laws, as Slaven said, "that are made in accordance with it" - in accordance with what? - with the future, God forbid, Spatial Planning Law of Montenegro - which has been in the works for six years (and change) - or with the current Spatial Planning Law of Montenegro from 2008?
Joking aside - the Innovated Draft of Amendments and Supplements to the Spatial and Urban Plan of the Capital City of Podgorica - which Slaven opened is not, just so that citizens know, completely aligned with the current PP CG - especially in the part, as the old DPS members would say, Milojko's idea of a tough Milojkovac city that Slaven located right on Velje Brdo, on the outskirts of Podgorica - after he lay down, over lunch, and closed his eyes - and whether it will have any connection with the new PP CG - and if so - what the nature of that connection will be - remains to be seen.
Anyway - It must be built! - never lose sight of the key imperative - and we will easily take care of the laws and plans...
