• lack of sufficient capacities of public utility companies as the main providers
of municipal waste collection and disposal services
• selection of sites for future regional landfills that are acceptable to the local
population from the point of view of environmental protection and which
incur the lowest costs
• implementation of new regulations and necessary improvements in managing
hazardous and industrial waste.
The Republic-Level Solid Waste Strategic Master Plan, the National Waste
Management Policy and the Law on Waste Management are aimed at addressing
above mentioned issues, leading to the conclusion that successful implementation
of these polices will improve the state of the waste sector in the
country. In these respects, the main goals of the NSSD in waste management
are the further harmonization of national legislation with EU legislation,
strengthening capacities for waste management, construction of sanitary landfills,
raising awareness on waste separation and recycling, and enhancing the
waste database.
4.3.4 Spatial Plan of Montenegro until 2020
The Spatial Plan of Montenegro until 2020 sets the national objectives and
measures for spatial development, in line with economic, ecological, socioeconomic
and cultural-historic development. Furthermore, the Spatial Plan defines
general and specific principles of spatial development, in accordance with
sustainable development principles, and provides guidelines for the development
of sectoral policies and detailed spatial planning documents at the state
and local levels.
Scope
The Spatial Plan of Montenegro envisions the spatial development of the
country in response to the actual needs of the population as well as to recent
changes and future trends. Two main pillars constitute the spatial development
of the country, reflecting different requirements of the same process:
• regionalization of the development perspective
• further integration of the Montenegrin space.
Classification
The Spatial Plan specifies three regions of Montenegro:
• Coastal Region – development zones of Boka Kotorska Bay, Central Coast
and Southern Coast.
• Central Region – development zones of Zeta and Bjelopavlići Plain, Nikšić
and Cetinje area constituting lowlands surrounded by karst areas. The largest
part of industry, the best agricultural land and the main centres of services,
cultural and other tertiary activities, excluding tourism, are concentrated
in this region. The present spatial structures and conditions in the
Central Region require an appropriate organization of the space in the light
of the industrial restructuring processes and pressure on agricultural land.
