Ulcinj Residents Block City Access in Protest Over Land Deal

Ulcinj residents staged a significant protest on May 15th, 2025, blocking access to the city to voice their opposition to a controversial agreement allowing the transfer of local property to foreign investors. The demonstration, which took place near the Sukobin border crossing and along the Bar-Ulcinj road, involved a large number of citizens and representatives from all political parties in Ulcinj. The protesters expressed unanimous disapproval of the agreement, arguing that it was made without proper consultation with the local community. One participant stated, "We are not here to defend individual political interests; this is about the future of our city. We won’t let them sell our land for 100 years!" Another interviewee added, "This is about the fate and future of Ulcinj. We want to preserve this city as it is." The protest highlights growing concerns over land deals and a lack of transparency in decision-making processes. The event underscores the importance of community involvement in major development projects.
