Montenegro's 'Housing for All' Plan: Deception or Delay?
Montenegro's Affordable Housing Plan Faces Scrutiny: Government Accused of Deception Podgorica, Montenegro – The Montenegrin government's handling of the 'Stan za sve' (Housing for All) affordable housing initiative is facing intense criticism. The plan, initially rejected by the government, has now been resurrected in a modified form, prompting accusations of deception and political maneuvering. The video from Info🇲🇪, a prominent Montenegrin TikTok news channel, alleges that the government's about-face is a calculated move to avoid fulfilling its initial promise. "They said they would build Velje Brdo," the author states in the video, referring to the planned housing location, "but where is Velje Brdo?" The video points to the lack of necessary infrastructure as a major obstacle to the project's timely completion. While the government has released a statement indicating the phased implementation of the project, the author of the video expresses skepticism, suggesting the delays are a tactic to avoid accountability. He suggests that the government's actions are "smootana ili bezobrazna" (smooth or shameless). The controversy highlights the ongoing challenges faced by Montenegro in addressing its housing crisis. The government's response to these criticisms and the ultimate success or failure of the 'Stan za sve' project will be closely watched.
