Residents in Podgorica are expressing grievances regarding municipal enforcement and urban management issues.

In one instance, locals in the city center have reported persistent noise pollution from a hospitality venue, noting that loud music continues between 1:00 AM and 3:00 AM. Despite fines being issued, residents claim a jurisdictional loop between the Administration for Inspection Affairs and the Municipal Police has prevented a resolution. The Podgorica City Assembly has been petitioned to help balance commercial needs with residents’ rights to peace.

Separately, motorists on Beogradska Street are facing 100 euro fines for illegal parking. Drivers contend the area remains a free parking zone established in 2022, arguing that the fines are being issued because the city failed to maintain faded road markings. While communal police maintain the penalties are legally valid for traffic safety, citizens are demanding the restoration of markings or a suspension of the fines.
