Expenses for expropriation of land, which the state pays for property taken due to the construction of infrastructure projects, significantly increased in September 2016, when €800,000 was paid for this purpose. This coincided with the period preceding the parliamentary election in Montenegro.
According to the official data of the Ministry of Finance, a little less than €200,000 was paid for expropriation in the first two months of the election campaign, i.e. in July and August 2016. Out of this sum, €101,000 was paid in July, while in August, the sum was €107,000.
In September 2016, i.e. in the month prior to the parliamentary election, as much as €800,000 was paid for expropriation, which is several times more compared to the previous two months.
Out of €800,000, as much as €430 thousand was paid from the Program of the Ministry of Finance called “Policy and Regulations in the Taxation,” which, according to the budget, did not include the expropriation expenditures.
