The Velje Brdo project has been described as the most ambitious endeavor in Montenegro’s history, aimed at alleviating excessive construction and urbanization in Podgorica while ensuring a decent quality of life in the capital. This was highlighted during the inaugural meeting of the Coordination Body for the project’s implementation.
Held at the Ministry of Spatial Planning, Urbanism, and State Property, the meeting was chaired by Minister Slaven Radunović.
Members of the Coordination Body, which includes representatives from the Ministry of Finance, Montenegrin Electric Distribution System (CEDIS), Montenegrin Transmission System (CGES), the Faculty of Economics, the Capital Projects Administration, the Investment and Development Fund (IRF) and the MDUP, began discussions on two key aspects of the Velje Brdo project: urban planning and construction, and financial considerations.
All attendees agreed that the Velje Brdo project presents a unique opportunity for the planning profession to excel and expressed their commitment to contributing significantly to its success and sustainability, benefiting both the citizens of Montenegro and the state itself.
The plan aims to shift the focus of construction to a new area within the municipality, envisioned as the most beautiful oasis for living in the capital.
