Disco and nightclubs in Podgorica, if they are in a residential building, will work in the future from 10 p.m. until midnight.
This is foreseen by the new Decision on working hours, adopted by the councilors of the Capital City Assembly last week.
It is well-known that a disco club and a nightclub located in a commercial building can work from 10 p.m. until 3 a.m.
The developer of the plan did not support the suggestion of increasing the upper limit of the catering facilities in residential buildings until 1 a.m., because as explained, almost no facility has adequate sound isolation, which should be provided during the construction of buildings, which is not the case in reality, due to the fact that business premises are not being built for a specific purpose.
They state that no facility has built-in sound limiters on the devices from which the music is being broadcasted, and that the rule on the noise limit values should only start to be applied.
As foreseen, the catering facility located in a commercial object and premises where mainly other activities are carried out (at the airport, bus and railway station, petrol station and shopping center) works in accordance with the working time of the facility in which it is located.
A fine of 150 to 10,000 euros shall be imposed on a company for a misdemeanor if he or she does not have a certified decision on working times in the premises, does not work during the working times determined by a decision on a schedule or at a specific time.
The communal inspector performs the inspection supervision over the execution of the decision, while communal officer supervision and the provision of the communal order in the field of controlling working times is performed by the municipal police officer.
The decision stipulates that the Tourist Organization of Podgorica shall work every day from 8 a.m. t 8 p.m. and in the summer season also on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Working hours longer than regulated, upon request by a business entity, a fast food facility located in a residential and residential-commercial building can be temporarily approved for up to three hours.
Extended working hours, up to three hours, may be granted to a discotheque and a nightclub within a family residential building, and up to two hours for catering facilities located within a residential or residential-business building with a maximum of fifteen residential units, with a submitted real estate list and the written consent of tenants certified by the notary.
