Arbitration has decided on the border between the Municipality of Tuzi and the Capital City of Podgorica

For the Municipality of Tuzi, this process is over. The municipality of Tuzi will not participate in attempts to subsequently change the outcome of the procedure through any new proposals, arrangements or agreements that were not the subject of the arbitration procedure. The municipality of Tuzi announced today that the arbitration procedure on the demarcation between that municipality and Podgorica has been completed.

“The municipality of Tuzi informs the public that the proceedings before the Arbitration Commission have ended. All proposals for territorial changes of the municipality of Tuzi, from both sides in the proceedings, were rejected, which is clearly stated in the minutes. Thus, the borders of the municipality of Tuzi defined by the current law remain in force,” the statement of the municipality of Tuzi points out. From that local administration, they added that they can state that their proposal for the division of property is the only proposal that was not rejected during the arbitration procedure, and therefore represents the only accepted model of property division in this procedure.

“For the Municipality of Tuzi, this process is over. The Municipality of Tuzi will not participate in subsequent attempts to change the outcome of the procedure through any new proposals, arrangements or agreements that were not the subject of the arbitration procedure,” reads the announcement of the Municipality of Tuzi. They stated that the boundaries of the municipality of Tuzi remain defined by the current law, and that the rights and interests of the municipality of Tuzi will be defended by all democratic, institutional and legal means.

AAI does not yet have the Arbitration decision in hand, but we expect the news to be updated because some issues have remained unclear, such as: the settlements of Mali i Kakarriqi, Luhar, Ledinë, Lloparë, Koshtica and Lake Rikavec. We hope that the Municipality of Tuzi will come out with full transparency on these fundamental issues as soon as possible.
