08 June 2019 - In the presence of a large number of citizens of Mojkovac, Prime Minister Duško Marković laid the foundation stone for a transfer station with a recycling yard and a pedestrian bridge over the main road between the city's lake and the sport-recreational zone. The projects are worth 2 million EUR according to the official report by the Government of Montenegro.
The pedestrian bridge will be 63 meters long and 7 meters wide. The contract was signed on 29 March and the deadline for the completion of works is seven months from the introduction of the contractor into the job.
The Prime Minister said that the transfer station project in Rudnica is in line with the highest European standards and is aimed at protecting the environment.
"In this way we solve the issue of communal and solid waste in the municipality of Mojkovac according to the highest ecological and other standards. This project not only solves the municipal waste issue for the city of Mojkovac and its surroundings, but also creates the preconditions for us to finally solve one difficult environmental issue - solid waste disposal sites on the banks of the Tara River in Podbišće," the Prime Minister said following the opening ceremony.
The transfer station with the recycling yard will be a collection point with paper and cardboard waste, mixed packaging (PET, other plastics, tetra pak, cans etc.), glass, bulky waste (old furniture, etc.), electrical and electronic waste, batteries, bulbs, vehicle tires and green garden waste).
Prime Minister Duško Marković visited the newly paved road from Rudnica to Pržište, where he talked with the locals. He also payed a visit to Žarski - the base station of one of the future ski resort within the Bjelasica ski complex.
"There are construction works on the road infrastructure from Vragodol to Žarski. At the same time, it is assumed that work on the base station starts in thirty days. We have already arranged and got a bidder for the construction of the cable car at this location," PM Marković pointed out.
The Prime Minister announced that in the next 30 days, a tender for the Mojkovac-Lubnica road will be invited, which includes the new bridge on Tara river worth 11 million EUR.
"In the next three years, we will invest about 30 million EUR in road and other infrastructure in Mojkovac, that will contribute to the development of this region, the development of the North, the development of Montenegro and, of course, to the creation of new jobs," Prime Minister Duško Marković concluded.
