The Municipality of Herceg Novi has initiated urban development projects involving the renovation of the City Market area. This project includes facade improvements and the installation of a monument to Mirko Komnenović. 

To facilitate construction, the municipality has issued instructions for market vendors to temporarily relocate their stalls to the ‘small market’ by October 1. This move has met with resistance from tenants, who claim they have not received official notification and argue that their lease agreements remain valid until the end of the year. 

Protesting tenants have raised concerns regarding the transparency of the relocation process, alleging that the monument may serve as a pretext for private development, such as apartments or an apart-hotel. Some stallholders have expressed fears of overcrowding at the alternative site and have indicated intentions to pursue legal action.
