The Directorate for Investments of the Municipality of Tivat began construction today on the pipeline to the island of Our Lady of Mercy. The project, worth 105,000 euros, is being carried out by “Indel Engineering,” with their machinery starting work on the shore of Đuraševići.

The start of the works was attended by the President of the Municipality, Željko Komnenović, and the Vice President of the Municipality, Jovan Brinić. They inspected the worksite alongside the Director of the Directorate for Investments, Vlado Brguljan, the Municipality Manager, Ivona Petrović, the representative of the contractor, and Don Ivo Ćorić, the custodian of the sanctuary of Our Lady of Mercy.

“We are finally starting the works we have been announcing for a long time. We are happy that this religious site will have water during our mandate,” said the President of the Municipality, expressing hope that the sanctuary will thrive and host numerous cultural events in line with the intentions of the Kotor Diocese.

“The total length of the pipeline is 1,200 meters, of which 800 meters are underwater. The contractor has begun installing the supports that will hold the pipes in the sea,” explained the Director of the Directorate for Investments, Vlado Brguljan, adding that he hopes the works will be completed within 40 days, despite some challenges in connecting the infrastructure along the route.

Continuous implementation of NTC education

The NTC training program for educators and teachers in schools and kindergartens in Tivat has been implemented since June last year, as a result of cooperation between the Municipality of Tivat – Secretariat for Social Activities and the Nikola Tesla Center from Belgrade, led by Prof. Dr. Ranko Rajović. At the end of February, the NTC specialization program continued in all educational units of the Public Preschool Institution “Bambi” in Tivat. NTC team lecturers visited kindergarten groups in Donja Lastva, Radovići, and the central kindergarten facility. Workshops were also conducted attended by about 15 educators. During March and April, online workshops are being conducted, and the next visit of the NTC team to this institution is planned for the end of April.

Continuous training of teachers from Tivat elementary schools is also being conducted, and in early December, a device for measuring flat feet in children was delivered to the pediatric department of the Tivat Health Center, donated by the Municipality of Tivat.

Construction works on the parking area near the Music School in the city center were completed in January of this year. The investment amounted to €136,000, and the works were carried out by the company “Akropolis” Ltd. The management of the new 50 parking spaces at this location will be entrusted to the company “Parking servis” Ltd.

“With the realization of this project, a significant number of new parking spaces have been obtained, which is recognized as one of the major infrastructure issues in Tivat. Despite numerous challenges on the ground, the contractor managed to complete all the works on time,” said Vlado Brguljan, the director of the Directorate for Investments, adding that it is envisaged that the management of this area will be assigned to the municipal enterprise “Parking servis” by a municipal decision.

In January, the Directorate for Investments of the Municipality of Tivat also completed the construction of a pedestrian path from Stari put Street to Tripovići Street. The path is approximately 80 meters long and represents a significant convenience for all pedestrians traveling from the city center to Tripovići. The value of the completed works amounted to around €9,000.
