It is possible that Prime Minister Milojko Spajić and Minister of Public Works Majda Adžović will be personae non grata in Ulcinj, announced the first man of Ulcinj Genci Nimanbegu.
“We may propose to the Assembly an initiative to declare them personae non grata. Maybe we will propose Spajić as well. I don’t know if we can do that legally. I really don’t know how to deal with these people anymore,” said Nimanbegu in the show “Minula neđelja” on Aplus television.
Nimanbegu said that he was deeply disappointed in the state of Montenegro and the officials who supported the agreement with the United Arab Emirates.
He also denied, as he put it, “stories and spins” that Albanians in Montenegro are not giving up Velika Plaža because of the creation of Greater Albania.
“These are media spins and they are absolutely false. Such vocabulary is so harmful,” said Nimanbegu.
According to him, the entire system cannot be destroyed for the sake of an investor like Sheikh Mohamed Alabar.
“Alabar is not naive at all. Just look at his career and what happened with Belgrade on the Water. He got land for free and is developing real estate there,” concluded Nimanbegu.
The speed with which the Agreement with the United Arab Emirates was adopted indicates a lack of transparency and that the process is murky, believes the President of the Municipality of Ulcinj, Genci Nimanbegu.
“You can’t buy a car or shoes in a month.
You can’t eat bread and cakes. You have to work. But these people only see dollars and euros. We are all small in front of society and before God, and I asked the whole of Montenegro to solve this problem,” Nimanbegu said in the show “Last Sunday” on Aplus television.
Nimanbegu wonders why the state would let someone build apartments in a protected area.
“Velika Plaža has been a protected area since 1968. Why did we pass laws on land expropriation and urban plans when we suspend them with a single agreement?” Nimanbegu asks.
He said that the local community and self-government will defend Velika Plaža until the end.
“I am determined in that. And let them do whatever they want and think whatever they want. We will defend Velika Plaža and we will defend it. This is a landing on Ulcinj,” Nimanbegu said.
“Albanian officials are also aware of the agreement with the UAE”
Nimanbegu also said that he informed Albanian officials about the agreement with the UAE and the opposition of the local community.
“I wrote to the President of Albania Bajram Begaj and the ambassador. They have a constitutional obligation to know what is happening with the minority community. I am fulfilling my institutional role, and let them do the same. If they do not fulfill it – that is a signal to us,” Nimanbegu pointed out.
He recalled that, after the topic of the agreement, various media spins could be heard and read that Albanians in Montenegro have dual citizenship.
“That is absolutely untrue. We only have Montenegrin citizenship. Albania does not have a system that automatically grants citizenship to its compatriots,” claims the first man of Ulcinj.
“They forced us to spend the Municipality Day in protest”
Nimanbegu said in a show on Aplus television that the Government and the Europe Movement were now trying, in the midst of the story about the Agreement with the UAE, to attack the citizens of Ulcinj and the mayor for not knowing what is good for them.
“They know everything, they have drunk all their brains, and we are against investments. Believe me, this is an instrument of a group of people who are doing very wrong things. forced a local government to spend the Municipality Day in protest,” said Nimanbegu.
Nimanbegu says that Prime Minister Milojko Spajić “should hit his forehead” and look at the path of citizens, non-governmental organizations and public officials who warned about this agreement.
“The agreement passed, but it is bad, and the consequences are so disastrous,” said Nimanbegu.
As he said, working on the agreement would mean renouncing the sovereignty of the state territory towards an investor.
“All this gives me the right to point out to the Prime Minister and the MPs that they should not make the same mistake again. This is a red card for Montenegro, and after that, the Big Beach would be given to some investor. We are used to hasty steps from the Prime Minister, and everything is very frivolous, especially after such a public reaction,” Nimanbegu noted.
Nimanbegu reminded that the Albanian parties are against this agreement, as are the opposition parties and the DNP, led by Milan Knežević.
“Knežević has the same views that we have. And I interpret the DPS’s departure from the assembly hall as their way of expressing their position. I also read the statements of MPs Nikola Rakočević and Nikola Janović, who are against this agreement. In mid-April, I wrote to all the parliamentary groups, because this is not a topic of the week or the month. This is a topic of the year, and even the decade, in which way the Government has behaved towards its work so far,” Nimanbegu concluded.
