10 November 2018 - The mayor of Podgorica, Ivan Vuković, announced a set of projects that should be carried out in the capital city of Montenegro. These projects include a traffic solution in the centre of the town, as well as setting up the monument to Ivan Crnojević. He also announced several infrastructure projects and construction of schools and kindergartens in settlements in Podgorica. However, first and foremost, the first man of Podgorica wants to bring the centre of Podgorica back into life and the possible solution is a shopping mall.
“We will try to stop the traffic in the center of the town in order to stimulate people to focus on a healthy lifestyle. This idea blossomed in some cities, like Ljubljana, for instance,” said Vuković.
Former department store “Beko” will be demolished and a new shopping mall will replace it.
“I would be so happy if a shopping mall was built at the centre of the town. We have to bring the centre back into life. However, I cannot tell you exactly whether there will be a shopping mall or a hotel or maybe even congress center. It is a very important project that would resolve one of the main problems of the Capital city,” said Vuković.
A new elementary school will be constructed in Tološi and a kindergarten in Blok VI. The Mayor also pointed out the importance of road infrastructure and said that, during his term of office, a boulevard in Donja Gorica will be finished and that the Airport in Golubovci will be connected to the boulevard in Danilovgrad.
He said that the construction of collecting the main network is the most important project in this term of office.
The celebration of the New Year through the New Year bazaar, as Vuković said, will begin on 19 December and will last until 10 January.
