Borovinić-Bojović: I have never met with Đukanović, DNP attacks me

A tender has been announced for the construction of the boulevard on Velje Brdo, which should be completed in a year and a half, while next week a tender will be announced for the main project and the construction of the first residential block, on which work should begin in December, it was announced yesterday by the Ministry of Public Works and the Ministry of Spatial Planning.

If the construction of the building, which would begin in December, would last ten months or less, the move-in could be before the completion of detailed geological research and studies on whether it is even possible to build any buildings on Velje brdo.

A preliminary hydrogeological study on the possible impact of the construction of the Velje brdo settlement on the source of the Mareza, which was completed in April, requires that the main project of the settlement and no other works be carried out until detailed geological investigations are completed.

After the Preliminary Hydrological Study was published, the Ministry of Public Works announced a tender for detailed research with a deadline of 14 months and 20 days. If the contract were to be signed immediately, it would mean that the result and the answer to the question of whether it is possible to build a residential area on Velje brdo would be known in September 2027.

Yesterday, the Ministry of Public Works announced a tender for the construction of the boulevard on Velje Brdo, the main road for the future settlement with an imagined population of 44,000.

The boulevard would be 5.3 kilometers long and would cost 33 million euros. In addition to the traffic road, the tender foresees the construction of water, fecal and storm sewers for the future settlement, which would be in the body of the boulevard, although it is still not known how and from where the settlement will be supplied with water, where and how the waste water from the sewage system will go… Waste water cannot go to Zeta because that part is in the Nature Park, while the “Vodovoda i Kanalizacija” from Podgorica previously announced that Velje brdo could only be directly connected to the new plant for purification plant that is still being built near Botun.

The tender for the boulevard includes the landscaping around the boulevard, as well as the planting of the specified types of grass, ornamental plants and trees and the number of seedlings.

Bids are submitted until July 20 of this year. The tender conditions stipulate that the boulevard will be built in 540 days, which is 18 months, from the day the contractor was introduced to the job.

Although there are still no expert studies on whether it is possible to build so many settlements on Velje Brdo, the Minister of Spatial Planning Slaven Radunović yesterday he announced in the Assembly that next week a tender will be announced for the main project of the future settlement and the construction of the first residential buildings.

He clarified that the tender will last 30 days, and that the selected contractor will have 90 days to prepare the main project and to apply to the ministry for a construction permit.

“Work on the buildings will begin in December, and then a competition will be announced for users to find out who will get the apartments,” Radunović said yesterday.

He is a member of parliament Vuković Kuč said that he will not deal with interpretations of the Prime Minister’s statements Milojko Spajić in connection with immigration, and that no one from him as a minister has heard that there will be immigration in 2026.

“I don’t think I can interpret what the prime minister was thinking. I was aware of the whole process that we had to go through in order to establish this project in a legal way”, pointed out Radunović, adding that the problem of the DPS, as well as some media that criticize the project, is that it will be realized.

In April of this year, his Ministry announced the selected urban-architectural conceptual design of Block A1, within the first phase of realization of the “Velje brdo” settlement. According to this conceptual solution, this block would have 557 apartments, 296 with a net area of 60 square meters and 261 with a net area of 100 square meters, that is, the total net area of the residential part is 43,860 square meters. The construction of the buildings alone would cost 118.03 million euros or 2,691 euros per square meter of net area, excluding costs for infrastructure and utilities. The Government previously announced that they would sell the square meter to citizens at a price of one thousand euros.

“Work on the buildings will begin in December, and then a competition will be announced for users to know who will get the apartments,” Radunović said yesterday.
